Moving with Ease

Arthritis Relief

Gentle mobilization to reduce stiffness and improve joint function.

Understanding Arthritis Relief

Arthritis, whether osteoarthritis or rheumatoid, causes joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain. While massage cannot reverse arthritis, it can be a powerful tool for managing symptoms and improving quality of life. At Shepherd's Touch, we use gentle, non-invasive techniques to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and maintain joint mobility.

When joints are painful, the surrounding muscles often tighten up in an attempt to protect them. This 'splinting' effect actually increases stiffness and pain. Our goal is to break this cycle. By relaxing the muscles around the joint and gently mobilizing the joint itself, we can improve the flow of synovial fluid (the joint's natural lubricant) and reduce the pressure on the joint surfaces.

Joint pain and stiffness

Reduced range of motion

Swelling around the joints

Muscle weakness around the affected joints

Our Therapeutic Approach

We don't just chase symptoms. We use targeted modalities to address the source of

your tension.

Gentle Joint Mobilization

We use rhythmic, oscillating movements to gently move the joint within its pain-free range, stimulating lubrication and reducing stiffness.

Lymphatic Drainage

If swelling is present, we use light lymphatic drainage techniques to help move excess fluid away from the joint.

Muscle Relaxation

We massage the muscles surrounding the joint to reduce protective tension and improve blood flow.
