Course Overview

A hand massage is a therapeutic technique that involves the manipulation of the muscles, joints, and soft tissues in the hands to promote relaxation, alleviate tension, and improve circulation. It is often used for stress relief and to ease discomfort in the hands and fingers.

A hand massage is not only physically beneficial but can also be emotionally soothing. It can relieve stress, improve blood circulation, and alleviate discomfort associated with conditions like arthritis or repetitive strain injuries. Hand massages can be performed by professionals, such as massage therapists, or by individuals on themselves or loved ones. Always be mindful of using gentle, soothing strokes and appropriate pressure to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
