"Hello my name is Jinilee Reavis and I'm a message therapist here at Veronika color and salon spa and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. What I'm doing now is I'm just focusing on the 2 areas that are very helpful to us in our everyday live which is our hands and our feet. We don't realize how much tension we carry in our hands and also so much in our palms as well. So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to do a little stretch that I will show you as well. I'm just going to press and pull out, press and pull out, and I do this to my self all the time and it just stretches the thumb and allows it to have more mobility and range in motion. You are totally in control like I said with the pressure with as far if it hurts just by the light touch just start there and work the muscle. You don't want to extend the pressure cause then you muscle would lock up and tighten up the tension that you already have. "
