Reflexology Of The Hands On Your Own At Home

By Veronica Tripplethorn

When people explain the art of reflexology, they usually begin with the feet, describing how bits of the foot are connected to specific glands, organs and other parts of the body, and can affect how they function.

By using massage, pressure and other manipulations, reflexology therapists can alter or improve the corresponding regions of the body. But what many people don’t realize is that reflexology of the hands is thought to work on the same principles, with similar effects.

A Reflexology Chart For The Hands

Reflexology of the hands is much easier for some people to handle than the work on the feet. Some people simply don’t like their feet touched by other people, or are embarrassed at the thought. So hand work can serve just as well.

In addition to that, if someone wants to try and do the hand manipulations on their own at home, then this is also easier than working on their own feet. A reflexology chart for the hands is easier to read and compare to what they see.

Reflexology On Your Hands At Home

The steps in doing reflexology of the hands involve a review of your options starting at the fingertips, pinching and rubbing the tips and sides, and then working down the fingers from there. The sides as well as backs and inner surfaces of the fingers are rubbed, and each finger is tugged as well.

Even the webbing between fingers gets its own massage, as well as the back and palm of each hand. This home reflexology work is easy to do, and ends with a deep pressure of the thumb into the center of the opposite palm.

Releasing Stress From Your Hands

People in any past era probably needed reflexology of the hands, just to relax the hands even if not to work on the rest of their body. But in this day of hand-held computerized devices, requiring constant, very small, very precise movements that can tense up the hands, the benefits of reflexology for the hands alone are myriad.

If a treatment can create a beneficial effect in the rest of the body as well as release the stress from the hands, then that’s a great bonus.
