Osteoarthritis occurs when the wear and tear of articular cartilage impairs joint mobility, causing pain and stiffness. Massage improves precisely these symptoms. When performed by a qualified and experienced massage therapist, it is an effective supplement to osteoarthritis therapy. The condition responds well to massage because the muscles that support the affected joints relax, which reduces stiffness and increases the volume of movement and also reduces soreness in the joints. In addition, massage relaxes the psyche, reduces stress and improves overall well-being and tone.
Although the benefits of massage therapy are well established by practitioners of traditional medicine, the issue has not been studied in detail from a strictly scientific point of view. Undoubtedly, modern medicine confirms the efficacy and safety of massage therapy in osteoarthritis, but so far it cannot provide detailed data on the clinical effect, due to the lack of large-scale clinical studies of quality design. One such study on the effects of massotherapy on arthrosis in the knee joint concludes that massage is an effective and safe therapeutic approach. In an attempt to analyze comprehensive and systematic massage therapy, the American Medical Association analyzed a total of 13 clinical trials and concluded that this form of treatment is effective in low back pain and recommends that it be added to pharmacotherapy. Another study of 64 volunteers suffering from chronic neck pain shows that massage relieves pain and increases mobility.
Empirical experience, compounded by gradually increasing clinical data, shows that massage is not recommended when arthritis is acute and there is severe swelling, warming, tenderness and redness of the joints. Massage is recommended when the condition is already chronic.
Crucial to the efficiency and safety of the procedure are the experience and knowledge of the massage therapist. The highly skilled specialist can contribute to the treatment of the disease by giving advice and proper nutrition and proper physical activity. Only an experienced and qualified massage therapist can perform massage properly in the elderly so that it does not cause soreness in inflamed joints. Only a well-informed massage therapist knows that the procedure is contraindicated in patients with haematological disorders or anticoagulant therapy, and that massage therapy cannot replace medical treatment.
How to know a good specialist?
First, one such specialist is interested in the medical history. The next stage of the primary consultation is to gently identify the pain points through a gentle touch. Therapists use long, careful movements to relax the muscles. When deeper penetration of a muscle is required, this is done carefully with the knuckles on the arm. The initial session may last up to two hours and may be followed by four or more visits per week.
