subject: Hand Massage: Ease Aches Sooner [print this page] Day in, day out, we use our handsDay in, day out, we use our hands. There isn't anything we aren't willing to do that needs to be done to keep the household running. Put away dishes, hammer in a nail, buckle the child in the car seat. Plant the garden, slice the vegetables. Our hands don't get a break. We type, despite the pain of repetitive motion. Hand massage will help with this
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!
There are a variety of methods of massage, over 250 to be precise. Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue and has been practiced for over 3000 years. Hand massage is done to restore function and alleviate pain in your hands. What you may feel to be a basic joint pain or strain can take weeks before you have any relief. If you just go for a hand massage, you will feel instant relief.
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.
For example, pressure point #27 should be twisted to ease tired eyes. Hearing can be enhanced by rubbing and twisting the pressure point #9 . When looking for constipation relief, look no further than pressure point #22 and twist. Try it, it's great. It really is amazing the number of ailments and the relationship to the inner parts of the body.
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.
Having had the massage, I felt great. Not only was I out of pain, but I felt I could think more clearly. Having researched general massage, I found out that this is not a figment of my imagination. When a massage is performed, the blood flow is better and this leads to overall well being from brain function to kidney/liver/elimination of waste. I found a local specialist. Check it out, find your local specialist.
You can't just have one hand massage. It is so great, you'll find yourself returning time and again. You now know the benefits that can be gained as a result of massage, not only hand massage, but other types also. Treat yourself or someone you love to a hand massage. My hands deserve it, don't yours.
