Look at your hands. Describe your hands. I have five fingers on each hand with nails on
each finger and a palm.

How will you take good care of your hands? I can take good care of my hands by keeping
it clean and moisturize.

I have here a video clip.

Say something about the video clip. The lady is giving the client a hand massage.

Based on the video clip that you have seen, what is a hand Hand massage is a personal treatment and
massage? manipulation of the hands to relax the client.

What do you think are the benefits of hand massage? It moisturizes the skin with hand cream, it
helps remove any dead skin cells, it relaxes
the client and it stimulates blood flow.

Do you want to know how to perform a hand massage? Yes, teacher.

Today, we will perform a hand massage.

B. Execution

Before that, let us identify first the materials in performing Massage lotion or cream and towels
hand massage. What are those?
 Steps in giving hand massage

1. Spread the lotion or cream

over the arms and hands.

Why do we use lotion or cream instead of using oil? Oil glides better. But then again, some people
don’t like silly feeling after a massage

2. Effleurage to the whole hand and forearm. Use long

sweeping strokes from the hand to the elbow moving
on both the outer and the inner sides of the forearm.
Repeat step 1 for the final result.

Based on the step I am doing now, what is Effleurage? Effleurage is a stroking movement in
massage.

3. Knead thumb to the back of the hand and the

forearm. Use the thumbs, one in front of the other,
and move backwards or forwards in a gentle sawing
action. Move from the hands to the elbow, and then
slide the thumbs back down to the hands. Repeat step
2 twice.

4. Knead thumb to the palm and the inner forearm.

Use the same movements as in step 2.
Why do we have the motion and direction of the massage The motion and direction of the massage
towards the heart? should be towards the heart because it helps
the blood flow towards the heart.

5. Finger circulations, supporting the joints. Support

the knuckles with one hand, hold the fingers
individually and gently taking each through in full
range of movements, first clockwise and then counter-
clockwise. Move from the little finger to the thumb.
Repeat step 4 or further 2 times.

6. Wrist circulations, supporting the joints. Support

the wrist with one hand and put your fingers between
the client’s gently grasping her hand. Move the wrist
through its full range of movement, first clockwise
and then, anticlockwise. Repeat step 5 or further 2
times.

will know if they are feeling pain in their
hand or up their arm so we can adjust our
touch to the client’s hand and arm.

Safety Precaution:
Be very careful to avoid vigorous massage of
joints if your client has arthritis, high blood pressure or
has had stroke. Massage increases circulation and may be
harmful to them. Talk with your client throughout the
massage and adjust your touch to the client’s hands.
