00:00hey everybody my wife and I are just going to demonstrate to you guys some

00:07massage techniques to help with people's hands so here I'm working on her hand and opening it up

00:17with my little fingers and then just using my thumbs to get into the palm of her hand

00:23you can see they're hooking in with the little finger opens it up and these are the two most

00:29important areas to massage when you're actually working on somebody's hand the two big muscles

00:36the one at the base of the thumb and the one at the finger they tend to be the tightest areas of

00:40course the fingers are so important as well but yeah it's a very important area to work on

00:51i'm just using some thumb techniques rolling around

00:53and i like to open up the hand there's a very important acupressure point here large test i4

01:01in chinese medicine a lung point on the inside and we open the thumb up and we can hold that point and

01:09move the thumb around and fold it move the hand and actually there's multiple points within that point

01:20even though traditionally it's one point i actually believe there's several points so and the way to

01:25access it is to come from where the thumb bone and the pointer finger bone meet and just beside that

01:33so not working on the bone but in that fleshy part beside that you can open that up

01:39get in there these are very important acupressure points in the hand in between all of the fingers

01:51in fact it's good to work but the one in between the little finger the second finger is a very powerful

01:57one as well as that thumb one all right you know my wife is going to work on my hand and obviously

02:18her hand is a bit smaller than mine a lot and she has a level of precision than i'm able to get with

02:24her thumb so she's able to really get in there and of course i'm very grateful to her because

02:30if she doesn't do this work on my hands it'd be very hard for me to continue massaging or massaging

02:37so many people so she's really getting into those tight muscles with the base of my hand

02:48using rotating thumb moves and that sort of thing we're actually thinking about holding a

02:54seminar like a two-day seminar for people that want to learn basic massage for home use so for

03:00friends and family or for their loved ones um and my wife and i would teach that together so that she

03:08can show people that have smaller hands and smaller bodies how to work on people with bigger hands bigger

03:14bodies bigger feet that sort of thing and i can work on other people we probably hold that in st louis and

03:21also in australia when we live between the two places this is filmed in our st louis house actually

03:32this is a great technique that she uses to get into the thumbs especially for her son if she can't get

03:38that pressure with her hands it's it gets in there believe me i can feel that watching it because i felt it

03:44when she did it that was a genuine gasp from the earlier yeah it's an intense and you can see coming

03:54from both sides it's pressure points

03:56hand massage is so important especially for you know massage therapists like myself

04:09i am doing treatments by the way in missouri in st louis penton uh if anybody wants to come we're

04:16doing best western plus we're also holding a 10-day seminar 10-day course coming up

04:23um lots of people are coming just for the sake of getting the massage getting the massage and uh

04:29yeah so that should be a lot of fun so if you're interested let me know just uh email me info at

04:35rainer massage.com

04:40or look at our website rainermassage.com there'll be a lot of information there there'll be page about our

04:46so that it's where this joint

04:50what what i'm always doing right now strap below the joint will be side to side

04:55often you get a little click that helps to prevent the build up of the calcium deposits in the joints

05:02which is really what causes our brightest

05:07so she's getting it moving side to side

05:10like i'm supporting here i'm going side to side but see it wants to go this way it's having trouble

05:23going this way so then you'd work you would know that this side is holding it tight okay

05:31like my right she did my right hand today this is a couple hours ago she did i'm talking over it

05:53and uh and then the difference in my right hand my left hand was enormous even now while i'm sitting

05:59here voicing over i can feel my hands on my right hand feeling so much looser and my left hand's like

06:05wow tight she got into it for a while we got four parts okay so we've got different acupressure points

06:13in between here we can push

06:20and in here

06:24and in here in between so don't be pushing on the bones it's in between the bones

06:30and a very powerful spot in here and how we can access that is to stretch the hand like this

06:36and then come from where the two bones join just beside that not on the bones but just beside that

06:43that way we'll be able to get that nice acupressure spot so opening it up and i'm pressing from both sides

06:49and then what we can do is move we can hold the hand still stretched and move the thumb and this

06:57is a very powerful way to access this pressure point we can also move there's more pressure points

07:02more pressure points than just than just the one

07:14so just moving that thumb opening it up

07:17coming back holding working it to a point where the person can still breathe into it

07:24and relax it but powerful enough that it's actually effective

07:29so if a 10 is where they're going to tighten up and pull it or pull it away we work under that

07:38then we can follow up these different bands that are coming up here

07:42we can work in through here across the top

07:45we can hold like this and pull i already got that a little bit earlier

07:57and then we can work across here

08:03all along here so we can hold points just right along the edge of this finger

08:07and in between and then we can open the hand up like this

08:12so we're stretching with our between our little finger and our next finger

08:16and then just working like that

08:30and along

08:37holding

08:41and these are some of the most important areas to work on a hand these little groups of muscles here

08:48and then it's in between and then we can actually

08:51work into the bands as they come across the top here so rolling over them

08:55and then holding the joint below here moving side to side

09:05okay so we're holding here

09:09and working so holding below this joint here to give it stability

09:12nothing you get little clicks

09:21it's a good sign

09:24this is where arthritis develops in a lot of people as they get older

09:28you can also work like this right here

09:29so moving these joints around helps to prevent arthritis

09:35it's

09:37it's some sort of build up of calcium causing calcification of the joints i believe

09:45from my understanding of it and we're breaking that up and pushing it back into the bloodstream

09:49that's kind of the stuff that actually creates tension and stiffness in the joints which is what

10:04and arthritis is arthritis actually arthro means joint and itis means inflammation

10:12but to me it's just a chronic build up of tension and along with that tension

10:16there's all this calcium and other things i'm not a scientist so i don't want to

10:21say exactly what it is but it creates tension

10:23okay so holding pressure points we can then turn the hand around like this

10:36click it it's a bit of a complicated move you should only really do this if you know what you're

10:40doing but you can do a simple one like this just holding right in the joint and just moving it up and down

10:49all right
