Benefits Of Massage Therapy For Arthritis

Arthritis Relief

They say that arthritis can strike you at any time especially if it is in the genes, limited calcium, and no exercise. Obesity and random dieting with incorrect foods have also been known to strike at the bones resulting in arthritic problems. Psoriatic arthritis is another problem where dealing with skin ailments and painful joints is a deadly combination. As is the case, there is no sure cure for the illness (arthritis), but with the right approach in terms of lifestyle choices, and massage, it can be kept in check.

Reflexology to the Rescue

A professional LMT uses simple methods to ease away the pain and stiffness. Reflexology as a science deals with the problem at the core where the applications of pressure to the trigger points are systemically massaged. The results may not be instantaneous but since the reflex areas are interconnected with various parts of the body, the energy blockages are removed by the adept therapist. The body as a whole reacts favorably over a period resulting in limited pain and the reduction of stiff joints. As the professional applies pressure to the troubled areas with the right method in place, the patient will ultimately feel the benefits.

Flare-Ups

For a person suffering from the painful joint problem of arthritis, it can be excruciating. Not only does the person wake up with stiff joints, but the climatic condition can cause the problem to flare up instantaneously. For instance, if the monsoons set in or the cold season is on the way, the hands, knees, and the other suspects will automatically react resulting in stiff joints or bent tendons. It can be very tricky to get by, hence the reason why an alternative solution works rather well through massage therapy.

Variety of Techniques

Massage is not always about a masseur or masseuse easing out the knots in the body. That is a different scenario. A licensed therapist uses various techniques like the Swedish massage, deep tissue, and relaxation massage and so on and so forth to deal with the joint pain. The objective of using the right technique for an arthritic patient is to understand the type of arthritis at the get. Some people experience an acute stiffness with the bones on the hands or toes or the knees. To relax the joints the right amount of pressure is applied so that there is no harm to the bones at any time during the session. The idea is to improve the motion of the joints so that any stiffness is slowly erased away and the patient can continue with normal activities without any pain or discomfort.
