Massage Therapy & Arthritis
• Several studies from highly-regarded institutions – such as the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine, Yale University, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Harvard Medical School – show that massage therapy can help relieve some of the serious pain and limited mobility associated with arthritis and related diseases.
• Massage therapy can play an important role in alleviating the pain and swelling caused by arthritis, improving flexibility and circulation and reducing stress and anxiety.
• Massage treatments target muscle pain and trigger points to help alleviate the constant aches and help manage stress.
Arthritis Statistics
• Arthritis strikes more than 50 million Americans (one in five), and that number is soaring.
