Massage Therapy Osteoarthritis Treatment
Massage Therapy Osteoarthritis Treatment
Massage therapy has become one of the most commonly used complementary health approaches in Canada; especially when used as osteoarthritis treatment. Osteoarthritis occurs when wear and tear breaks down the cartilage cushions between the joints. Pain and stiffness in the affected joints are the most common symptoms of this condition. Research has found that massage therapy – done by a trained massage therapist – is a valuable addition to a osteoarthritis treatment.
Chronic osteoarthritis responds well to massage. Pain is relieved as the muscles surrounding the joints relax, hence releasing stiffness and allowing the patient to gain range of motion. There are many forms of massage, each with its own set of benefits. Each form of massage is best suited to different ailments. For osteoarthritis treatment, massage techniques best equipped to alleviate swelling and pain like include trigger point, reflexology, Swedish, and Shiatsu massage.
Massage is a safe, non-invasive, all natural option for those suffering from osteoarthritis. With consistent use, massage can not only relieve the residual pain caused by the condition, but can also improve flexibility and mobility in the affected areas.
