How to give yourself a hand massage

Our hands are some of the most overworked parts of our bodies. A hand massage is a great way to relieve some of the tension built up from keyboarding all day at work.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Squeeze between each finger with the thumb and index finger of your other hand. This releases tension and increases circulation.

2. Stretch your fingers by interlocking them, palms facing up, and pulling them gently downward. Don't try to crack your fingers with this motion, just stretch the tendons in your hands.

3. Make a rolling movement on each finger with the fingers and thumbs of your opposite hand. Work from the knuckle to the fingertip.

4. Make a circling motion on your palm with the thumb of your opposite hand. Be sure to press deeply into the palm. Pressing too lightly will tickle.
