Hands massage

When I got to Seattle, in 93, I was pretty sick. I had hives all over my body and eczema all over my hands. It was painful, especially in massage school where my hands were in contact with water all the time. They used to hurt so bad that I had to keep socks on them, and when I was waitressing I d have to get people to wipe the tables for me. If I put rubber gloves on I reacted to the rubber. Before I knew any better, I was using cortisone and lost a layer of skin on my hands. [Pg.172]

One of the first applications of ultrasound in medicine was the so-called ultrasonic massage introduced in Germany before the Second World War. This was introduced as a substitute for the hands of the masseur in patients who had suffered from fractures and similar injuries. Rubbing movements are capable of improving the circulation very considerably and help also to break down adhesions between muscles and their sheaths that limit the range of movement. The use of ultrasound for the treatment of sporting injuries, particularly strains and tennis elbow is now commonplace as equipment for this purpose is readily commercially available to the physiotherapist. This is one of the first uses of ultrasound in the treatment of medical problems and is part of a new field of medicine called therapeutic ultrasound [15]. [Pg.10]

Fifteen minutes later I was lying on a massage table as a tribal elder named Papa Joe, an enormous man with a thick dark beard and bad teeth, pushed and prodded at my belly, assisted by a woman named Anna, who said she was a former nurse at high-risk births. Eventually Papa Joe placed my hand on the baby s head, which I previously had felt somewhere to the right of my navel. It was now underneath my sternum—on its way somewhere, but where I burst into tears. [Pg.166]

When using essential oils on the skin in a massage, the essential oils are diluted in a carrier oil. There are very few exceptions to this. Carrier oils are vegetable oils, also called fixed vegetable oils, in which the essential oils dissolve easily and efficiently. The carrier oils enhance the absorption of the essential oils through the skin and provide lubrication to allow the therapist s hand to move smoothly over the client s skin. In addition, some carrier oils have beneficial and therapeutic properties of their own. [Pg.210]

We shuttered the windows, ordered candles, clean sheets, and a tray of toast and gin for the midwife, and settled down for a long wait. Annie became a bustling professional she massaged Sarah s belly, stroked her hands and wrists, bathed her face, and spooned water between her lips, while Mrs. Calder dozed and ordered more gin and I watched as if just by paying attention I could make a miracle happen. [Pg.238]

The opposite condition is more likely to present itself—that of emaciation.

Cats and kittens may be more sensitive to many insecticides than other pets, and are often nervous about treatments. For this reason, foams that can be applied to the palm of the hand before application and then massaged into the hair arc the preferred treatments, and pyrethrins and PBOare the most commonly nseductive ingredients. Foam products, containing 0.15% pyrethrins and 0.70% PBO in a dual-synergist system, provide rapid flea kill and at least 8 days of residual control of fleas on cats. [Pg.298]

Urine of adult single individuals was collected in Petri dishes when they were picked up in the hands approximately 0.5—1 h before the beginning of the tests. Urine of pups was collected during light massage of their ano-genital area. The age of pups was from 7 to 20 days old. In paired choice tests the age of urine donors (pups of musculus -pups of spicilegus) differed by not more than 1.5 days. [Pg.302]
