Massage and Arthritis Pain


For OA, on the other hand, as I said above, sometimes massage can help the joint heal itself, although this is a rare situation. Massage can relax the surrounding muscles, increase circulation to the joint and local area to bring fresh oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products from the cells. Many of my clients who suffer from arthritis find that regular massage, which might be weekly for some and monthly for others, brings relief that lasts longer than medication and is less harmful to the body, overall.

If you have arthritis and find that you're not as limber as you once were, go looking for a massage therapist and ask what they can do to help you. At worst, you'll have a nice, relaxing session; at best, you'll find your pain reduced and your body moving more freely. Good luck and good health.
