Hand Massage: Ease Pain Faster

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.

Sure, lotion will keep our skin from drying out, but what of our muscles, joints? A hand massage can feel good on hands, and cure a plethora of other internal complains. There is a general massage, and then more specialized ones such as Hand Massage.

Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue. Hand massage is done to enhance function and promote relaxation and well-being, as well as feeling really great on the hands. If you are looking to modern medicine to cure your issues, maybe you are looking in the wrong place. Maybe your every day joint pain can be eliminated by a hand massage.

When having a hand massage, we must realize that there are a variety of specific pressure points that relate directly to different parts of the body. Every part of the hand has pressure points, including the front, fingers and the palm. Your masseuse can show you a map of the hand and points.



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.

My first hand massage gave me tremendous relief, not only in my hand, but my mind felt very clear. I had so much energy also. I no longer need to take over-the-counter pain pills, so I felt my body is much healthier and toxin-free.

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!
