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..
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.
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.
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.
