Stroke hand numbness massageNEW!
One well-known aftereffect of cerebral infarction is numbness.
But “numbness” can have various causes.
Here we introduce three massages effective for hand numbness caused by peripheral nerve or blood flow issues.
First, press the pectoralis minor muscle; second, stroke up and down along the upper arm; third, gently knead the pronator teres muscle.
If the third is difficult, simply stroking it is fine.
Hand numbness can make daily life challenging and painful.
Please try these massages to ease it, even a little.
In conclusion
Numbness in the hands can be a concern in daily life, but it’s important to continue caring for yourself at your own pace and without strain. Massages done with a comfortable amount of pressure gently spread warmth and offer a rich time that loosens and relaxes both body and mind. Start by trying methods that are easy to adopt, and find the one that suits you best.
