Aroma Therapy, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Massage
Can massage therapy relieve my rheumatoid arthritis pain?
Rheumatoid arthritis can lead to painful joints, deformities, and disabilities, adversely affecting sleep quality and overall life quality. A study on the impact of aromatherapy massage on pain and sleep quality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed significant pain reduction from the baseline. Aromatherapy massage was found to be effective in enhancing sleep quality and alleviating pain.
Joan Weaver is an expert in a technique known as Aromatouch, which combines her massage expertise with aromatherapy to soothe the nervous system. If you're experiencing the severe effects of rheumatoid arthritis, Joan at Body Talk Medical Massage is the therapist to consult.
Furthermore, she can provide you with a personalized blend and instructions for incorporating aromatherapy into your self-care routine, helping you maintain pain relief and improved sleep.
