Osteoarthritis (DJD) and Rheumatoid Arthritis involves irritation
and inflammation of synovial and weight bearing joints.
Degeneration over years of repetitive use causes pain and stiffness in the joint and surrounding tissue.

Arthritis is seldom reversible, most treatment strategies are geared
for pain management.
There are many approaches to dealing with arthritis, pain relieving and anti-inflammatory medicines, moderate exercise to keep joints mobile and healthy.

Our goal with massage is to reduce pain through release of the muscles surrounding the affected joints and maintain range of motion through gentle stretching.
