Hand Reflexology Glove

The hand reflexology glove displayed above may look like just a funny hand glove design. But it becomes a much more fascinating item in the perspective of a 1993 United States Patent 5199876, named: ’Hand Reflexology Glove’.<

The ‘Hand Reflexology Glove’ patent is described as follows:

“A glove that when worn by a user quickly, comfortably, conveniently and effectively applies a specific amount of pressure to a particular point on the wearer’s hand, thereby relieving and/or eliminating pain of the wearer such as from a type of headache. A glove worn by the person with pain, such as a headache, includes an internal pressure point applicator and an inflatable bladder to apply pressure to a desired point on the wearer’s hand.”

    Reflexology as an alternative massage?:

    “I have heard a lot about reflexology and am interested in it because I think I would benefit from massage. But I am not a fan of being touched. Do you think reflexology would be a good alternative to a full body massage?” Mike, Cape Coral.

    Krissy’s answer: 

    Reflexology is very popular! In your foot, there are many reflexology points that, when massaged, you are able to reach all parts of the body. It is also a great way to correct different problems you may be having physically, because you are able to also pinpoint different organs, etc. Since you do not like your full body to be touched, you will be happy to know that you will receive the benefits of a full body massage every time you receive a reflexology treatment.So, I recommend you jump into this treatment feet first and enjoy!

    Hand reflexology may not be as popular as foot reflexology. However, hand reflexology does provide some benefits compared to foot reflexology. For example: our hands are much more accessible than our feet! So the hands make a great self-help tool for adults and children, which explains why hand reflexology charts are also very popular.
