When are we not using them

Our hands. When are we not using them? Perhaps when we sleep. We clean, scrub twist, grab. We type on computers, buckle child car seats.. The list goes on! Our hands are constantly in use. Sure, the back deserves a massage, but the hands? Read on.
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. A hand massage will enhance function and promote relaxation and well-being and can help with a host of issues ranging from headache to stomach problems. 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.

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.

What a great experience I had with my first hand massage. I continue to go frequently for different massages, but the greatest reward is that I am out of pain. I am no longer adding toxins to my body in the form of over the counter pills over and over again. I also have more energy than before, and this was a pleasant surprise to me.

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!
