Arthritis Massage
Wellness for the Chronic Symptoms of arthritis.
OSTEOARTHRITIS is degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone, most common from middle age onward. It causes pain and stiffness, especially in the hip, knee, and thumb joints.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system – which normally protects its health by attacking foreign substances like bacteria and viruses – mistakenly attacks the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis most commonly affects the joints of the hands, feet, wrists, elbows, knees and ankles. The joint effect is usually symmetrical.
PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS is a form of arthritis that affects some people who have psoriasis — a condition that features red patches of skin topped with silvery scales. Most people develop psoriasis first and are later diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, but the joint problems can sometimes begin before skin lesions appear. (MayoClinic)
THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage therapy is excellent for the relief of arthritis symptoms. Massage decreases depression and anxiety associated with arthritis.
MASSAGE THERAPY
It is important what type of touch you receive for the specific arthritis and chronic symptoms you may be experiencing. People with arthritis who experience chronic pain, stiffness and poor sleep may consider using massage therapy regularly to help manage your pain and stiffness or promote better sleep that can also relieve pain in the joints and stiff tense muscles. Another wellness benefit is you will have more ease in your body and can enjoy your interest that arthritis may have impacted.
Is your massage therapist trained to provide the correct touch, teach you positional release, and relieve the depression and anxiety that accompanies the chronic or acute pain with a flare-up?
Will you leave your session with a self-care massage, gentle movement or positional release to use at home?
One massage may feel good, but research shows regular massages have an accumulative benefit for people with arthritis
