May is National Arthritis Awareness Month, and massage therapists can utilize this event to inform clients of the benefits of massage therapy to arthritis symptoms.
An increasing number of Americans are turning to complementary methods, including massage, for relief from conditions including arthritis—and research shows that massage reduces hand arthritis pain and alleviates pain associated with knee osteoarthritis.
National Arthritis Awareness Month is sponsored by the Arthritis Foundation.
