In the Arthritic Conditions & Massage program we've combined four articles written especially for the Institute's Massage Professionals Update. These four articles include:
- Massage Therapy Provides Pain Relief From Osteoarthritis - Caused by the breakdown and eventual loss of cartilage of one or more joints, osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, affecting over 20 million people in the United States. Whether performed in an office or spa, discover what bodywork methods can effectively relieve the pain and discomfort of osteoarthritis.
- When Clients Present With Joint Pain - Despite seeming to be a simple, straightforward complaint, joint pain can have several different origins. Bodyworkers who are familiar with the five most common causes of joint pain and their respective implications on massage therapy can be especially useful to joint pain riddled clients.
- Two Treatments to Relieve Hand Arthritis - The onset of arthritis will become increasingly common as the "baby boomer" generation continues to age. Discover two methods for treating the pain, swelling and loss of movement associated with this condition.
- Using Massage Therapy to Help Psoriatic Arthritis - Before a client with psoriatic arthritis comes to you seeking relief, make sure you know about this condition and understand when massage might aggravate it.
