Arthritis of the Hand

Arthritis is a condition that affects the joints. There are many types of arthritis, but the most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain, stiffness and swelling, redness, and a decreased range of motion. Arthritis is typically associated with age, but younger people can suffer from arthritis, too. Age, joint injury and obesity are all risk factors for developing arthritis. The base of your thumb, your knuckles, second joint and top joint of your fingers are common sites for hand arthritis. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis are common types. Treatments include splints/braces, medications, steroid injections and healthy life choices. Surgeries include joint fusion, joint replacement and tendon transfer.

Massage therapy for arthritis can help by:

• reducing pain

• increasing blood flow to the joints

• increasing range of motion

• improving quality of life

• boosting mood

Swedish massage

Long, fluid stroking of the skin, muscles, and tissues helps reduce muscle stiffness and joint soreness. A therapist may use oil or lotion to stimulate the senses and help reduce anxiety. Swedish massage can boost circulation, which may help improve joint range of motion.

Deep tissue massage

This type of massage manipulates the surface and lower layers of tissues and muscles and requires focused, strong pressure. Deep tissue massage may result in soreness, so it might not be suitable for some people with active arthritis.

Hot stone massage

Heat is associated with soothing painful muscles, and hot stone can alleviate muscle tension and promote relaxation. A therapist must ensure that the stones are not too hot, as excessively high temperatures may result in a burn or scald scars. Heat increases blood flow and may enable an increased range of motion in the joints.
