Hand Massage Ease Muscle Spasms Faster

Hand massage, what a great discovery I had last Summer. We use and abuse our hands every day. We clean and scrub, we pick things up, open close doors and type on our computers! We open cans and jars, put shoes on, buckle children's car seats, turn knobs, dials, the list goes on. That can take it's toll on hands.

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!

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.



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.

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.
