Rejuvenate Your Body And Combat Pain By Way Of A Soothing 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.Today's technology is proving to be a new source of pain and discomfort in our hands ... texting on cell phones, extended video game play, typing on our computer keyboard ... all are contributing to the popularity of hand massage therapy to combat the increased strain on our hands.If you use your hands a lot during any given day - and most of us do in our workplace - you probably experience the tension and pain associated with your work. If you spend a majority of your day typing - for example - a hand massage can relieve the effects brought on by excessive use of a computer keyboard. In just 5 - 10 minutes, one can experience much-needed relief; this benefit only compounds the popularity of hand massage therapy among people of all ages.If you're familiar with reflexology, you know that a hand massage can bring relief to the stress and tension found in various other parts of the body. As stated earlier, it has been found that different parts of the hand have "access" to other - often distant - parts of our body. So during a hand massage, the area receiving the pressure is certainly being targeted, but so are the other parts of the body that "link" to that area of the hand. A trained massage therapist can treat neck and head pain, arthritis and poor circulation by honing in on specific areas of the hand while administering a hand massage.Following is a list of just some of the ailments that can be treated via a hand massage:Addiction and craving;Cold and flu;Sexual energy reflexes;Back pain;Mental energy;Immune system.As stated earlier, the benefits described here are only possible if your hand massage is given by a trained massage therapist. Beware of the claims made by DIY at-home massage equipment - while they may make your hands feel better for the moment, they are not designed to target the various areas of the hand to heal your body and relieve your pain.by: Robert Reynolds
