Things You'll Need:
- Massage oil or baby oil
-
Step 1
Remove any rings from your hands. Pour a bit of oil onto the palm of one hand and vigorously rub your hands together to soften them and increase blood flow.
-
Step 2
Decide which hand you want to massage first. Starting with the thumb of that hand, gently but firmly massage each finger using a pulling motion from the base to the tip. Finish at the pinkie.
-
Step 3
Go back to the thumb. Using the thumb and forefinger of the opposite hand, squeeze and massage the joints. Repeat with each finger.
-
Step 4
Using the tips of your thumb and forefinger, massage the outer edges of your palm by lightly pinching them. Pay special attention to the space between your thumb and forefinger.
-
Step 5
Grasp your hands together, as if you were praying. Using the opposing hand, bend the hand backward to stretch it. Turn it in a clockwise, then counter-clockwise motion.
-
Step 6
Grab all four of your fingers (but not your thumb) and squeeze them in a wringing motion starting at the tips of your fingers. Work your way down to the back of your hand. Repeat on the other hand.
