What does an Arm Massage involve?

An arm massage covers the entire arm from the biceps and triceps down to the wrist, with the aim being to reduce tension and relieve pain using numerous techniques. Along with decreasing pain, an arm massage is able to increase the range of movement and prevent future injuries to the arm through exertion.

With range of movement being limited due to many reasons, some of which including tightness in our muscles or injury, an arm massage can help relieve these symptoms and restore you back to previous health.

Another benefit of arm massage involves preventing future injury. This is done via increasing both the blood and lymph flow through the arms promoting both detoxification and an increase in oxygen, resulting in healthier, stronger, more resilient muscles. While massaging the arm the heat caused through the friction causes an increase in flexibility in the muscles which in turn reduces the restriction allowing the muscles to flow more freely, reducing the risk of straining or twisting.

If you are someone who regularly works out, you will have certainly experienced post exercise muscle soreness within the following couple of days after an intensive workout, with the chances of this increasing due to an insufficient warm up and/or cool down. An arm massage can aid in preventing post muscle soreness by increasing the blood flow and range of movement. The increased blood flow can promote the growth of fresh blood vessels which will assist in redistributing the fluids causing swelling which result in the stiffness after working out.

What does a Hand Massage involve?

A hand massage involves purely working the hands, with several techniques being carried out during this treatment. The different methods used decrease acute pain, promote relaxation and may even reduce scarring. Reducing swelling and winding down tension are also benefits of having a hand massage.

You may be wondering how a hand massage can reduce scarring, this is done via breaking down the scar tissue, which may cause restrictions in your hand muscles. By massaging the hand, scar tissue is loosened which in turn relieves any pain and tightness you might be feeling as a result. The increased blood flow allows the tissue to become more elastic.

If you have swelling in your hand through injury or even surgery, hand massage can aid you in reducing the swell. With blood vessels being damaged through injury or surgery, a massage will assist by encouraging a healing process, with the lymph vessels removing waste products and excess fluid.

Tension in our hands happens when muscles contract but fail to relax, which restricts our movements and ultimately results in pain in the affected hand/s. Again, by massaging the hands and increasing the blood flow and temperature of the hand it allows the muscles to stretch, increasing the elasticity and noticeably reducing any pain you have been experiencing.
