Those with rheumatic diseases such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Ankylosing Spondylitis have joints that are painfully stiff and swollen, making everyday movements difficult to achieve. Our stretch therapists assist your stretch, ensuring that your muscles and joints are moved gently and effectively. Our therapists are aware of the complications with rheumatic disease so head on over to a Stretch Center near you to help.
One of our main goals when stretching someone with a rheumatic disease is to increase circulation to the joint to help reduce inflammation and pain. Anyone with any of these conditions knows what chronic pain and discomfort feels like. Assisted stretching improves blood flow to the affected areas which can induce healing, remove waste products, leading to less pain and better joint health.
Assisted stretching could be the first step to relieving some of your chronic pain for those who live with rheumatic diseases. Our gentle touch, friendly smiles and regular stretching sessions can help reduce stress and anxiety over time, which is huge for those who are living in chronic pain. A few of the benefits we hope to provide is better sleep leading to more energy throughout the day. We can’t wait to see you well rested and smiling through our door for another session. Our stretch therapists love to be the emotional support you need to keep you moving and living life to the fullest. So come see us when you could use a nice stretch from a person you trust.
