Relax with a Hand Massage

Posted: August 4th, 2017

Hands are always busy. Many people type for several hours every day. The repetitive motions can cause carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis. Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause tingling, pain, and numbness. Massage therapy can relieve the symptoms.

 

Balancing Energy in the Hands

For thousands of years, hand massages have been used as a therapeutic treatment for hand ailments. A massage therapist can balance the flow of energy in your hands. The therapy will stimulate the tissues and muscles in your hands. Modern medicine is slowly recognizing the benefits of spa services. 

Oil and Gentle Stroking Movements

The therapy can be administrated with a small amount of oil. The massage therapist will make circular movements near the base of each finger and your thumb. The gentle stroking movements will be carried out on each hand.

Increase Circulation and Relieve Pain

Massage therapy has several benefits. For many people, improved circulation is one of the most important health benefits. Some medical conditions reduce blood flow to the fingers. The restricted blood flow can cause sharp pains and persistent contractions. Improved circulation can also help hands heal faster after an injury or surgery.

Improve Your Grip

Hands have several reflexology points that are associated with many organs and tissues. A professional massage therapist can locate and treat pain points. When you leave the day spa, you may notice an improvement in your grip strength.  A hand massage can restore elasticity in the hands and wrist. If you have arthritis, a hand massage can reduce friction in the inflamed areas. When you visit a day spa, the therapist can teach you stretches that target the muscles in your hands.
