Hand Massage can be part of any Full Body Massage, but it may as well be given as a separate treatment modality. It’s one of those massage treatments that can be easily practiced by yourself.

The hands, of course, are important and much used parts of our body, and depending on the type of activities or work one does the hands may be used rather intensively.
One of the problems with the hands (and wrists) is that we often engage in repetitive work, which can lead to so-called repetitive strain injury (RSI) causing health issues such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or numbness of the fingers, thumbs and wrist, tingling and pains, and so on.
Regular, daily Self-Care Hand Massage or Hand Reflexology may prevent, alleviate, or counteract those health problems. Many techniques are used, such as gliding, stroking, cracking, stretching, traction, pressing, and acupressure, to name the most common techniques applied.
Hand Massage, together with its inherent reflexology results, is thought to be also effective in alleviating health issues that are not directly related to the hands, like arthritis, rheumatic arthritis, neuropathy, general stiffness, headaches, anxiety, and insomnia.
