Hand Reflexology
Hand Reflexology is similar to foot reflexology but focuses on stimulating reflex points in the hands that are connected to various organs and systems in the body. This express massage is ideal for individuals who use their hands frequently for work, such as typing, crafting, or manual labor. It’s a quick way to relieve tension and improve hand flexibility while also benefiting the entire body.
What Happens During the Massage
In this 20 to 30-minute session, the therapist applies pressure to specific points on the palms and fingers. The pressure is tailored to target reflex zones that are linked to internal organs, muscles, and other parts of the body. Using thumb and finger techniques, the therapist works to release tension, improve circulation, and promote healing.
