Hayward, CA – Certified Massage Therapist, Geri León, Offers Hand / Foot Massage

Hand and foot massage is a relaxing and therapeutic practice that involves applying pressure to specific points on the hands and feet. This type of massage can be performed by a massage therapist in the massage office or at home. Hand and foot massages benefit anyone, regardless of age or health status, and can provide various physical and mental health benefits. Hand and foot massage is convenient for those who can only receive a face up.

How is the Massage Performed?

To perform a hand or foot massage, the massage therapist will apply oil or lotion to the skin to reduce friction and provide a smooth, gliding motion during the massage.  The therapist will then use various techniques, including kneading, tapping, and pressing, to stimulate pressure points and promote relaxation.  They may also include stretching to release and elongate muscles related to the hand and feet.

What are the Benefits of Hand and Foot Massage?

One of the primary benefits of hand and foot massages is stress relief. The hands and feet are some of the most overworked and stressed areas of the body, and regular massage can help reduce tension and promote relaxation throughout the body. This type of massage can also improve circulation, as the pressure applied to the hands and feet helps to stimulate blood flow to the area.

Hand and foot massages can also benefit individuals suffering from conditions such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and plantar fasciitis. These conditions can cause inflammation and pain in the hands and feet, and regular massage can help reduce pain and improve mobility.

Another benefit of hand and foot massages is improved sleep quality. Many people have trouble falling or staying asleep due to stress or anxiety. By promoting relaxation and reducing tension, hand and foot massages can help individuals achieve a deeper, more restful sleep.

Hand and foot massages can also benefit athletes or individuals who engage in regular physical activity. This massage can help reduce muscle soreness and stiffness, promote faster recovery after exercise, and improve range of motion and flexibility.
