I Have Arthrosis in My Neck - Can Massage Therapy Be Risky?

Arthrosis is a condition that can cause severe neck pain and discomfort. Without any treatment, arthrosis can worsen over time, making it difficult to do anything.

One common treatment for arthrosis is massage therapy. Massage therapy is a soft recovery treatment method that can help improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation. However, many believe massage therapy can also be risky. We believe this is a misconception, and in this article, we'll explain why.

Massage Therapy is a Gentle & Effective Treatment

First, it's reassuring to understand that massage therapy is a gentle and specialized form of physiotherapy. Massage therapy is unlikely to cause any further damage to your neck or any other part of your body, and the treatment is performed by registered therapists.

Massage therapy is much more likely to improve joint function in the neck area. The therapist will work to loosen any tense muscles and joints to relieve tightness and increase the range of motion.

Additionally, massage therapy feels good. The relaxation that comes with the treatment can help improve your mood and outlook on life.

So, What's the Risk?

The risk with massage therapy is minimal. In some cases, there may be a small amount of bruising or soreness after the treatment, but this should go away within a day or two. If you have any concerns, please feel free to speak with your therapist.

At the end of the day, massage therapy is a gentle and effective treatment for those suffering from arthrosis. The benefits of the treatment far outweigh any risks, and we hope this article has helped to clear up any misconceptions about massage therapy.
