The Benefits of Korean Hand Massage are:
· Helps to prevent conditions such as RSI
· Reduces stiffness and increases flexibility
· Improves the skin condition of the hand
· It is deeply relaxing
· It balances the energies within the body and supports the body's natural ability to heal itself
This therapy, recently brought to this country, was developed after a Korean acupuncturist discovered in 1971 that the whole of the body could be found mapped on to the hand. He also discovered that the meridian system and the acupuncture points could also be found in miniature on the hand. He developed a specialised form of hand acupuncture, which is now widely practised. The fundamental concept that the body is reflected onto the hand is also used as a basis for this non-acupuncture massage.
The philosophy behind Korean Hand Massage is that, like hand reflexology, specific areas and points on your hands correspond to specific areas and organs of your body. If you have a pain or problem somewhere in your body, you can find a corresponding tender point in your hand.
As you massage that point, a soothing message will be sent to the corresponding area. In Korean Hand Massage, every joint in the hand represents a joint in the body and the therapy is an expecially good treatment for muscular-skeletal problems.
Our hands are always busy and are usually tense, so they feel great when they are given this relaxing massage!
