Hand-massage, from the Philippines

This is what the Wikipedia says about Hilot, the Philippine-style hand massage, "Hilot (/hee-lot/) is an ancient Filipino art of healing, commonly used today to relax stressed muscles. Masahista (Hilot practitioners) as well as arbularyos are usually cheaper alternatives to medical doctors in the Philippines, especially in very deep rural areas. Hilot employ chiropractic manipulation and massage for the diagnosis and treatment of musculoligamentous and musculoskeletal ailments. They also have been known to reset dislocated and sprained joints such as the knee, ankle, fingers and metacarpal bones. Hilot tend to be chiropractors while arbularyos tend to be herbalists. Midwives are also called hilots." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilot
And if you watch this video, you'll see what Mei Orias has to say about it.... a neat explanation, with an actual demo.

Great techniques. It's so cool that parents give their children massage at such an early age. It stimulates development in both mind and body. Hooray for massage!

when i was in college my hands would get stiff and crampy because of drawing or painting all day and one my classmates volunteered to give me this hand massage, i was iffy about it, but when she did it... omg, i was trying to hide the pleasure on my face... but this massage feels so good!

I watch professionals give massage, to help me sleep at night, i find it very relaxing for some reason, and she did a better job of this massage then 95% of the professionals i watch. great vid!

@baystategal, to be honest I didn't even notice it until I read your comment, lol. Yes for some reason people get very judgmental of other people's appearance when they are hiding behind a computer screen ;)
