Posted on 31st | Posted by admin in Health and Fitness

One in 10 people have osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis mainly seen in older adults. In osteoarthritis, joints are damaged as cartilage, the joints’ shock absorbers, wears down.

While there’s no cure for osteoarthritis, treatments are available that can relieve pain and help you remain active. If you actively manage your osteoarthritis, you can gain control over pain.

The good news: A new study shows that massage may reduce pain and improve joint function. Massage therapy is safe and effective in adults with osteoarthritis of the knee, reported researchers at the Yale Prevention Research Center and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
