The muscles of the hand are specifically intended for manual massage.
Hand massage is a massage that specifically targets the muscles of the hands. It can be used alone or experienced in conjunction with a longer massage involving the upper back and/or arms, or a full body massage. This type of massage can be especially helpful for people who spend a lot of time working with their hands, and can also provide relief for people who spend many hours a day in front of a computer keyboard.
Hand massages are often part of the manicure.
It is common for massage therapists to use reflexology techniques during hand massages. Reflexology is an alternative therapy based on the belief that certain points on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to specific organs and areas of the body. In accordance with these principles, applying pressure to specific points on the hands can help relieve pain and alleviate some diseases in the corresponding parts of the body. Reflexology also promotes general good health and improves circulation throughout the body.
A small amount of lotion is needed for a hand massage.
A hand massage is a good alternative for those who are not comfortable with a full body massage but still want to experience the relaxation and health benefits it can offer. To experience this type of spa treatment, it is not necessary to remove clothing, unless for some reason the person includes gloves in their daily attire. Also, the massage can be enjoyed sitting in a comfortable chair, which is an attractive feature for some people who feel vulnerable when lying on a massage table.
The lotion is applied to the hands during the massage.
Some spas include hand massages in their manicure treatments, and they can often be added to a manicure for an additional fee. Also, these types of massages are generally available to both male and female clients. Some spas offer them to clients while they rest with a mask.
While these massages can be enjoyed at a spa, they are a great way to relax at home. Exchanging massages with a partner can be a great way to relax or unwind after a long or stressful day. Hand massages can be enjoyed almost anywhere: at home, during a break during the workday, and even while traveling. All it takes is some hand lotion and a partner or friend who is willing to help.
