Osteoarthritis will affect many people in the course of their lives. Aliyah Massage Therapy Helps Relieve Osteoarthritis Pain Several published studies have indicated that massage therapy helps relieve osteoarthritis pain. 1. Better posture. Massage Therapy to realign posture will reduce unequal weight distribution throughout the body, which the joints usually receive with unhealthy posture. Joints properly stacked vis-à-vis each other will witness a healthy distribution of body weight and ground reactive force, reducing the weight burden load upon each joint. 2. Joint flexibility. Friction strokes will positively impact joint structures by removing collagenous tissue bound within joint structures. Collagen settles in areas of injury to patch these sites. These patchwork scars contribute to the lack of mobility and stiffness of people with osteoarthritis. Proper range of motion can be restored with massage therapy techniques. 3. Pain management. Regular Massage Therapy reduces pain by directly impacting nerves. Because joint structures have many nerve endings within and around the local regions, massage therapy can significantly manage osteoarthritis pain. 4. Decreased swelling. Lymphatic Drainage incorporated within the massage treatment to push extracellular fluid proximally upon a limb can significantly reduce swelling of an affected joint structure. This benefit augments the prior benefits mentioned and may expedite the body’s healing processes. 5. Movement re-education. As the massage client begins to experience proper joint mobility, the nervous system will start re-educating itself via proprioceptive activity. Efficient movement patterns can be restored compared to pre-osteoarthritis patterns. These benefits of massage therapy will significantly aid the osteoarthritic patient and slow the progression of this condition.

  • Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It is typically non-inflammatory and affects weight-bearing joints such as the hands, knees, hips, and spine. It breaks down the articular (hyaline) cartilage at the ends of bones.

  • Healthy cartilage acts as a substance to allow bones to glide against each other smoothly in pain-free motion. This cartilage appears pink and smooth on cadavers, however it appears chipped away and rough where arthritis has presented. When this cartilage wears away, bone surfaces will grind against each other with movement, causing intense pain, swelling and reduced joint motion. Other signs and symptoms include the development of bone spurs, point tenderness and stiffness of affected joints.

  • Osteoarthritis is a progressive disease, meaning it gradually worsens over time. Risk factors for the progression of this condition include prior joint injury, body weight, occupational and recreational demands, genetics, bone malformations, and concurrent diseases.
