1 in 5 Canadians suffer with the constant pain, swelling and stiffness of arthritis. It is one of the most common chronic health conditions in Canada and is one of the most frequent causes of physical disability among older adults.

It is common for people who are in pain to shy away from being touched but massage can actually soothe the pain and stiffness. In an Arthritis Society article Claire Gavin, a Toronto-based RMT explains, “Massage helps relieve pain and eases the muscle stiffness associated with arthritis by improving circulation, helping to reduce inflammation. That translates to enhanced blood flow to arthritic joints, improved movement, and reduced pain,”. She adds that massage uses soft tissue manipulation to help release muscle tension for better flexibility and pain relief. And as most people with arthritis can attest, less pain and more flexibility helps keep you moving, which in turn helps keep you out of the cycle of being sore, stiff and sedentary.
