With over 46 million Americans suffering from arthritis, it is one of the leading causes of disability and high health care costs in the U.S. Massage Envy clinics in the DFW Metroplex offer massage therapy programs that can help individuals cope with the chronic pain of arthritis.
Arthritis is categorized as a joint disease, mostly affecting the cartilage around the joint. Symptoms of arthritis include pain, swelling and loss of motion in the joint. Most sufferers report that arthritis limits normal activities and significantly decreases quality of life. Unfortunately, there is no cure for arthritis. Sufferers face high healthcare costs and often come to rely on drugs that have little effect on the pain or, worse, cause other health issues.
The good news is that massage therapy has been shown to be an effective method for combating arthritis symptoms. While many massage therapists have long cited the benefits their clients describe after receiving massage therapy, science is beginning to back these anecdotal reports with clinical evidence.
In 2006, researchers from Yale Prevention Research Center held a 16-week clinical trial involving 64 individuals with arthritis. The results showed that massage therapy improved flexibility, lessened pain and improved range of motion in the participants. Another study conducted by the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami - School of Medicine showed that ongoing massage can lower anxiety, reduce pain, and improve grip strength for those with arthritis.
Massage Envy offers affordable, drug-free relief from arthritis pain. Its Massage Wellness Program for arthritis sufferers is designed to improve joint movement, relax tense muscles, and stimulate the flow of blood and nutrients to the skin and underlying tissues. Additionally, the relaxation achieved through therapeutic massage helps break the cycle of pain and stress that often accompanies and complicates arthritis.
“Not only does each session feel great, but the therapeutic benefits are compounded when massage is utilized as a frequent therapy,” says C.G. Funk, Licensed Massage Therapist and Vice President of Industry Relations and Product Development for Massage Envy. “The more you go, the healthier you feel.”
At Massage Envy, an introductory one-hour massage session (a 50-minute massage and time for consultation and dressing) is just $39. Members can enjoy a one-hour massage session every month for just $49 plus additional visits throughout the month at reduced prices. Or, for only $10 more, individuals can enjoy a one-hour healthy skin facial utilizing Murad skincare products at participating locations. Massage Envy gift cards can be purchased at all Massage Envy locations and can be redeemed at any clinic in the U.S.
