Massage can improve quality of life for those suffering from arthritis, joint or muscular pain…

If you are suffering from joint pain, muscular tension or arthritis, did you know that deep tissue massage can dramatically improve both your quality of life and your ability to relax or sleep?

Deep Tissue Massage relaxes severe pain tension in the muscles and joints. The Arthritis Foundation states that massage can significantly reduce pain in muscles and joints, improve sleep, ease stress and improve lifestyle and overall quality of life.

How can massage therapy help with arthritis?

Massage is often used to relieve common symptoms of many types of arthritis: reducing pain and stiffness, easing anxiety, improving range of motion in joints, and promoting more restful sleep.

Deep Tissue Massage focuses on manipulating both the top and lower layers muscles and tissues to address severe tension or pain in the muscles and connective tissues.

The use of hands-on massage can also ease joint stiffness, encourage joint mobility, decrease anxiety, and promote more restful sleep.

“Massage can result in a significant reduction in pain” for people with all types of arthritis, says Tiffany Field, PhD, a research psychologist at the University of Miami Medical School.”

People with arthritis who experience chronic symptoms may consider using massage therapy regularly to help manage their pain and stiffness or to promote better sleep that can, in turn, relieve pain in muscles and joints.

What are the symptoms of arthritis?
