Over 50 million people in the United States suffer from Arthritis. And contrary to popular belief it affects people of all ages. Arthritis is an inflammation in your joints that causes pain and stiffness, which at best can be a nuisance and at its worst can cause debilitating pain that can keep you from enjoying many activities that many of us take for granted. Millions of Americans have turned to alternative therapies such as Japanese hot stone massage therapy to help alleviate the pain and stiffness caused by arthritis.
Evaporate your worst arthritis symptoms
Japanese hot stone massage utilizes smooth basalt stones in varying sizes and shapes that are water heated and placed onto pressure points throughout your body. Theses stones warm tight muscles, which causes the muscles to relax and allow the massage therapist to access the deeper layers of muscles that harbor the tension and inflammation that cause pain. When combined with traditional Swedish massage therapy, Japanese stone massage can relieve muscles tension and dramatically reduce the symptoms of arthritis.
Stay active and pain free
Removing muscle tension also allows muscles to regain much of their full range of motion, increasing ones mobility and allowing arthritis sufferers to continue to enjoy outdoor pursuits as well as other physical activities without pain or discomfort.
Hot stones massages have also been proven to help expand blood vessels, encouraging increased blood flow to muscles and extremities as well as decreasing the inflammation that causes the joint pain which plagues arthritis sufferers. In the hands of an experienced professional, massage stones can help greatly reduce muscle pain.
Let a hot stone massage melt away your tension
It is Important to understand that sometimes pain is as much mental as it its physical. As well as causing pain and stiffness, arthritis is also a very stressful condition as it affects so many aspects of everyday life. This buildup of stress only serves to increase the tension in your muscles, which causes even more discomfort. Allowing a highly trained massage therapist to relieve your tension in a relaxing environment can go a long way to relieving the stress that arthritis sufferers deal with on a daily basis.
