subject: Hand Massage Alleviate Hurts More Effectively [print this page] Hand massage, what a great discovery I had last Summer. We use and abuse our hands every day. We clean and scrub, we pick things up, open close doors and type on our computers! We open cans and jars, put shoes on, buckle children's car seats, turn knobs, dials, the list goes on. That can take its toll on hands.
We can use lotion to care for our skin, but what about muscle or joint strain? What about the pain of overuse? Hand massage may be what we've been unknowingly seeking, not only to relieve hand pains and aches, but also to help a long list of problems. General massage is widely spoken of, but hand massage? Is it really worth it. I did my research, found out more!
Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue. A hand massage will enhance function and promote relaxation and well-being and can help with a host of issues ranging from headache to stomach problems. There are over 250 types of massage, and massage has been used for over 3000 years..
There are a variety of pressure points on the palm, back of the hand, as well on fingers and finger tips. The map of the hand will show which point to rub to relieve problems. Different pressure points relieve different aches and pains. Your therapist will show you what the map of the hand looks like.
Different techniques also affect different parts. Each pressure point is numbered and targets each specific area. For example, point #31 when rubbed will help with a weak bladder, whereas point #22 when twisted will relieve constipation. Rubbing the side of the middle finger tip will relieve fatigue. Pressing and rubbing point #30 will relieve dizziness. Whatever ails you, a hand massage may cure it.
What a great experience I had with my first hand massage. I continue to go frequently for different massages, but the greatest reward is that I am out of pain. I am no longer adding toxins to my body in the form of over the counter pills over and over again. I also have more energy than before, and this was a pleasant surprise to me.
The blood flow increases when a massage is done. This increase in flow improves brain function. This is great. The elimination of waste products from the body improves, also, as a result of the blood flow increase. My local massage spa has a hand-massage specialist. This is where I go. Find the right place for you. Start locally, you'll probably be surprised.
Having read this, whether or not you have hand issues, you should want to go for a massage. Just to try it. As you now know the benefits, you can make an informed decision. Visit your local massage spa. Try a variety of massages. For me and the overuse of my hands, I feel the hand massage cures my problems. Your hands deserve it!
