Postnatal Massage - Arms and Hands

A hand and arm massage can often be a part of a spa treatment, but getting a great hand and arm massage at home is just as efficient if done properly. Hand massage typically is quick, relaxing and provides you with immediate health benefits, such as improved finger and wrist range of motion, enhanced circulation and reduction of your trigger points—hyperirritable nodules—in your hand muscles.
