Activity Title
PRE-HAND SPA TREATMENT

KEY CONCEPT

Hand spa helps remove dead cells and callous. Callous appear on hands because of the constant friction of
the skin to the materials they use. Hand spa is a treatment performed by professionally trained staff. This
treatment is done to replenish, restore and rejuvenate naturally tired hands. While an arm massage aims to reduce
muscle tightness by increasing muscle elasticity and flexibility and loosening scar tissue. An arm massage
encourages an increase in blood flow. An increase in blood flow increases the temperature of muscles. An
increase in muscle temperature allows muscle to stretch and relax.

Activity Title
Benefits of Hand Spa Treatment

KEY CONCEPT
Every part of the human body is connected through the nerves through feet, hands, and ears. Not only are
hand massages relaxing, but they are beneficial to multiple organs in the body. On the outside of the hand and
inside of the hand are specific organs that are stimulated when touched. The heart, kidney, spleen, hip, intestines,
pancreas, thyroid, appendix, and gallbladder are some examples of the major body parts that have nerve endings in
the hands.

1. Hand massages restore balance in the body by removing any blockages

 The muscles and tissues release tension such as emotional tension. If there is any stagnant energy in the specific
organ, it is released when pressed. This can be beneficial for people who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome or
sinus and breathing problems.

2. They help you sleep better at night

Since a hand massage is so relaxing, it releases serotonin in the brain which will lead to a better night’s sleep. A
massage is peaceful and relieves pain which may be interfering with your sleep schedule.

3. Decrease anxiety
A massage will relax the mind which means that overthinking, overanalyzing, fearful thoughts, and tension are
released. Anxiety symptoms are naturally relieved with a massage.

4. Increased flexibility in wrists and fingers

People suffering from arthritis will benefit from a hand massage. It will break up the stiffness that is causing
discomfort within. Massages increase the joints range or motion. They exercise the muscles which need help with
lengthening without pain. This will also benefit people who have sports injuries.

5. Decreased swelling
Hand swelling can be caused by too much fluid accumulating in the hand. When massaged, the fluid is released and
dispelled from the area. Hand massages will help with retained water.
 6. Increases delivery of nutrients to underlying issues
Massages get new oxygen-rich blood flowing blood into areas that are sore or stiff. This increases the delivery of
nutrients to organs and ligaments that otherwise would not be able to improve.

7. Relieve headache

Stimulating certain organs and the increase of blood flow can naturally relieve this stress .
