Reflexología de mano

Summary

This therapeutic hand massage technique focuses on the connection between hand reflexes and various body organs. The process begins with the patient and therapist in comfortable positions, using oil to prepare the hands. The massage targets specific pressure points across the palm and fingers, each corresponding to different organs like the lungs, heart, digestive system, and reproductive organs. By applying gentle pressure to these points, the therapist stimulates the corresponding body areas. The procedure concludes by reactivating the opening point and balancing the energy flow, which can also be taught to patients for self-care at home.

Takeaways

• 😀 Ensure the patient is in a comfortable position, respecting spinal hygiene.
• 😀 Apply mineral or massage oil to your hands, ensuring they are warm or lukewarm.
• 😀 Start by massaging the palm and back of the patient's hand, covering the entire hand.
• 😀 Open the palm's micro system by applying pressure to the central point of the palm for 6 seconds, adjusting for patient tolerance.
• 😀 Begin massaging the thumb, moving through each finger in a specific sequence: middle finger, ring finger, pinky, index finger, and lastly the thumb.
• 😀 Focus on reflex zones corresponding to specific body parts, such as legs, feet, lungs, diaphragm, heart, and stomach.
• 😀 Pressing painful spots during massage may indicate an issue with the corresponding organ, requiring further attention in those areas.
• 😀 Continue the massage by stimulating the liver, gallbladder, small intestine, and other relevant organs in the palm.
• 😀 On the back of the hand, the nail of the middle finger corresponds to the brain; stimulate this area, as well as the cervical, dorsal, lumbar, and sacral vertebrae.
• 😀 The reproductive organs, depending on gender, should also be targeted for reflex massage during the treatment.
• 😀 Finish the massage by closing the hand's micro system in the same manner as it was opened, applying 6 seconds of pressure to the palm's central point.
