Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes joint inflammation, pain, and stiffness, significantly impacting daily life.
While medical treatment remains essential, sports massage can be a valuable therapy for managing symptoms.
How Can Sports Massage Help?
✅ Reduces Muscle Tension: RA often leads to muscle tightness due to joint pain and compensation patterns. Massage helps relieve tension, improving movement efficiency.
✅ Enhances Circulation: Increased blood flow promotes oxygen and nutrient delivery to affected tissues, aiding in recovery and inflammation management.
✅ Improves Joint Mobility: Gentle soft tissue techniques can assist in maintaining range of motion, preventing secondary stiffness.
✅ Pain Modulation: Massage stimulates the nervous system, helping to reduce pain perception and improve overall function.
While massage cannot replace medical treatment, when integrated appropriately, it can contribute to better symptom management and improved quality of life for those with RA.
