Among the benefits that have been reported from hand, arm and shoulders massage are:
♦ Deep relaxation: This massage reduces stress and accumulated tension in this active and exposed area of the body. The physical contact and the gentle manipulation of the muscles and tissues promote a sensation of calm and well-being.
♦ Improved blood circulation: With the application of specific pressure and movements during the massage, the blood flow to the area is stimulated. This can help relieve the sense of cold in the extremities and improve the nutrition of the tissues.
♦ Relief of pain and discomfort: This massage is especially beneficial for those people who suffer from chronic pain in the joints and muscles, arthritis, fibromyalgia or other related illnesses. The gentle, rhythmic movements of this massage can reduce inflammation, lessen pain and improve flexibility and mobility.
♦ Stimulation of the lymphatic system: The lymphatic system is responsible for eliminating wastes and toxins from the body. The hands, arms and shoulder massage stimulates this system, helping to eliminate the accumulation of liquids and reduce swelling in the hands and fingers.
♦ Supports emotional well-being: In general, massages help free endorphins, the hormones related to well-being and happiness, which can improve our mood and reduce anxiety.
