Korean Hand Massage
This therapy, recently brought to this country, was developed after a Korean acupuncturist discovered in 1971 that the whole of the body could be found mapped on to the hand. He also discovered that the meridian system and the acupuncture points could also be found in miniature on the hand. He developed a specialised form of hand acupuncture, which is now widely practised. The fundamental concept that the body is reflected onto the hand is also used as a basis for this non-acupuncture massage.
Korean Hand Massage is an alternative to hand reflexology, specific areas and points on your hands correspond to specific areas and organs of your body. If you have a pain or problem somewhere in your body, you can find a corresponding tender point in your hand. As you massage that point, a soothing message will be sent to the corresponding area. In Korean Hand Massage, every joint in the hand represents a joint in the body and the therapy is an expecially good treatment for muscular-skeletal problems.
This massage is given while the client is sitting up, fully clothed and comfortable. Oil or handcream is used to soften and lubricate the skin and the massage includes both hands and the forearms and there is a choice of natural crystal for an enhancement of the massage.
