I am going to get one soon for the first time. I am wondering how good they are?
I'd suggest a very light message from someone who knows what they're doing/experienced in people who have arthritis. As well as alternating ice and hot compresses.Originally Posted by mews2much
I have arthritis in my back,chest,shouders and neck. Would a Massage make it worse. My back and neck hurt alot everyday.
There is a form of massage called trigger point that is the absolute best in my opinion. I have chronic neck pain due to the fact that I hold all my stress in my neck and it can cause some serious migraines. I went to a lady that specializes in that and it was wonderful. It is a bit intense and they'll warn you before hand but if you can take the pain in the end your neck will thank you.Originally Posted by abbycats
I went to massage therapy for my neck. I have chronic neck problems and my muscles are always tight and sore. In my case the massage therapy did not work. Mind you I have something awful going on in my neck that I can't ever get any relief from the constant pain.
Under normal circumstances massage is shear bliss!!! Have fun!!
