Squeeze and Slide Fingers

Hold your partner's hand in your hand. Take one finger and is squeeze the entire finger with your other hand. Massage all four size of the finger from the base to the tip. Squeeze and circle the nail bed. Repeat on the other fingers repeat on the other hand.

Finger Slide

Hold your partner's hand so the palm is facing you. Starting with their thumb and pinky slide your thumbs and index fingers up from the base of their palm to the fingertips. Repeat on their index finger and ring finger. Then I like to pair the middle finger with the thumb rather than the pinky because thumbs do a lot more work than pinkies. So they deserve more massage. Repeat on the other hand.

Bend, Rotate and Stretch Wrist

Put your partner’s elbow on a stable surface. Hold your partner’s wrist with your thumb on the wrist. Press the hand and bend the wrist towards you. You put your thumb on the wrist to prevent the over-stretch and possibly hurting your partner’s wrist. For the same reason, with your index finger on the other side of the wrist, press the hand the other way and bend the wrist away from you.

Hold the wrist, weave the fingers with your partner’s and rotate the hand in one direction several times. Then rotate it in the other direction several times.

Finish with a nice stretch by pulling the fingers. If this is hard to do, grab the side of the hand and give a nice stretch. Repeat on the other wrist.
