A good hand massage is not only relaxing and rejuvenating for the tired hand muscles but also helps in increasing the flow of blood to these muscles. Although it is easy to give yourself a relaxing hand massage, most people do not know how to massage the hands in the right way. A self hand massage can be given by using the fingers on one hand to press down on the palm of the other hand. Clockwise massaging strokes should be made with the fingers, applying medium pressure on the palm and the surrounding area. The tip of the thumb can be used to press down on the base of the other thumb to relax the muscles in that area.

Another one of the self hand massage techniques involves using your knuckles to massage the palm of the other hand. Pulling each finger and thumb from the fingertips helps in relaxing the finger and thumb muscles. The last step in this hand massage technique would be to gently press and squeeze the palm of your hand using the other hand. Following these simple hand massage instructions can help you give yourself a soothing and relaxing hand massage.

Hands and arms are the most overworked parts of the body. It is very important to get them massaged first in order to achieve complete relaxation and alleviate pain. It is believed that if proper massage is given to the hands, your entire body will be completely relaxed and free from stress.
