Yep we have all kindsa news this week! I hadn't heard massage was contraindicated. My rheumatologist said the opposite actually, but then again she also said Vioxx was the best thing since sliced bread, so who knows? But it did and does wonders for me so thought I'd suggest it. Best o' luck!
Hi again,
My old massage therapist mentioned the contraindicated thing about the arthritis and massage ... I wanted to start with him again after being diagnosed (thinking it would help me ) and he told me he was very uncomfortable about causing me harm if we tried massage. He was being extremely careful. I never verified, just thought he knew what he was talking about. This was a number of years ago, maybe my therapist didn't know? He couldn't afford to be turning away steady business in a small community :D
I'll ask the physio folks what they say about massage ;)
Thanks ... best of luck to you too!
