What to do if your hands hurt after learning massage

For those who do not exercise enough or have never done physical labor, if they learn massage techniques, they will easily experience soreness in their palms or wrists during the initial period of time. In fact, this symptom is very common and is caused by excessive muscle stretching. So what should you do if your hands hurt after learning massage? For those who are just starting to learn, be sure to apply force evenly. If it hurts, use hot compresses to promote blood circulation.

1. Relieve upper limb pain

The upper limbs include the upper arms, forearms, wrists and hands. Some people who use computers for a long time often experience arm and wrist pain. It is common to see office workers rotating their wrists and shaking their hands, thinking that this will relieve pain. In fact, if you want to stay away from pain, you also need to do muscle strength training to improve and enhance the local functions of your body.

2. Hand cutting exercise

Lay one hand flat, or on a table if you have one, with the back of your hand facing up, like a "cutting board." The other hand is a "cleaver", cutting from the fingers, to the wrist and then upwards to the front end of the forearm. The left hand cuts the right hand, and the right hand cuts the left hand. You need to have a certain amount of force when cutting.

3. Scraping

The simplest method is to scrape the painful areas on your arms and shoulders. You need to ask someone to scrape your shoulders, but you can do it yourself on your arms. The method is very simple: apply a little scraping oil on the painful area, and then scrape it with a scraping board, scraping the shoulders from the inside to the outside and the arms from top to bottom. The more painful the area is, the more nodules and hard tendons there will be. You can use your fingers to scrape and rub the area. You will feel very comfortable and relaxed after scraping.

4. Use various life tools

In life, there are many natural massage tools, such as big trees, iron pillars on buses, and nylon handles. When taking the bus, you can lean your aching shoulder against the iron pillar. As the bus sways, the painful area will be massaged. Raise your arm and hold the nylon handle on it, which will help stretch the muscles. When I was in the park, I leaned against a big tree and bumped my body back and forth, massaging the affected area.
