Defeat Stress But Also Promote Well Being Using A Fun, Relaxing Hand Massage

Many don't realize it, but hand massage therapy has been around for a very long time

. Next to our face, our hands are the most noticed part of our body and will often reveal the true age of someone who appears to be younger. Therefore, proper care of our hands is vitally important - not just to maintain the appearance of them - but to strengthen and heal them, as well as the other parts of the body that they affect.

Hand massage therapy was developed by an acupuncturist in Korea in when he discovered that the whole of the body could be mapped onto one's hand. He then developed a form of hand acupuncture (whose concept that the body is reflected onto the hand) was the basis for today's non-acupuncture hand massage therapy.

So how does a hand massage reduce stress? During the process, endorphins are released that realign the symmetry of your body. Not only is a hand massage a wonderful way to relax your hands, but it heals them by:Keeping joints mobile;Increasing circulation in your hands;Toning the muscles in your hands;Rejuvenating your skin;Helping to prevent conditions such as RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury);Reducing stiffness and increasing flexibility.All the new technological advances of today like video games, cell phones and computers have drastically increased the need for hand massage therapy to fight against the strain put on our hands. The concept of hand massages are much like those of a foot massage - although not yet quite as popular - that certain areas of the hand affect various other parts of the body. Think about how much you really use your hands during the day, especially in the workplace. A hand massage can bring instant relief to the effects of the wear and tear on our hands on a daily basis. 5 - 10 minutes is all it takes to revitalize your hands and the other parts of the body affected by a hand massage, which makes it a popular solution among all age groups.In keeping with the theory of reflexology, a hand massage can relieve pain and tension found in many other parts of our body. Not only does it address the area being massaged, but transcends into other parts of the body that are linked to the area in the hand. Arthritis, neck and head pain, poor blood circulation ... all can be treated by a hand massage administered by a trained massage therapist. During a hand massage, the therapist targets zones, energy centers and pressure points located on both the back of your hands and your palm to provide relief to the distant part of your body that needs attention. A hand massage - correctly administered - provides relief to various parts of our upper, middle and lower body. I combination hand massage can effectively used to address the effects of:Back and neck pain;Addictions and cravings;Mental energy;Symptoms resulting from the cold and flu;Immune system issues;Sexual energy.Be smart about your body; include hand massage therapy as a part of your regular health routine. But be sure to visit a trained massage therapist for treatment; massage equipment designed for at-home use does not provide the same benefits you'll received from a trained massage therapist and any relief provided will only be temporary. by: Heidi Gleason
