While most of us rub lotion on our hands this only takes care of the skin. Sure this helps after we wash dishes and counters, but it doesn't take care of muscles or joints. A good hand massage is great. Even when we rub lotion on our hands, we enjoy the feeling of the rubbing motion. Let me tell you first about general massage, then about hand massage. I know you'll be interested to learn more, I certainly was.
Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue.

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.
Each pressure point is numbered. A weak bladder can be relieved by rubbing on point #31.The middle finger tip, when rubbed on the side will relieve fatigue. When looking for constipation relief, look no further than pressure point #22 and twist. Dizzy? Try having point#33 rubbed. Your local spa technician will be able to perform a hand massage for you, and also give you a map of the hand with the ailments and pressure points numbered. Go ahead, try it out. Find your ailment, then look no further than your local spa.
When I first went in for a hand massage, I found great relief in my hand pain. Here's what I didn't expect. I no longer need to take the medication, which I felt was adding toxins to my system. I also didn't expect to have more energy than before. It was a wonderful experience.
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.
After this, you'll want to go for a hand massage whether or not you have hand pain/aches/cramps. Just try it.
