As this is Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Week, we thought it would be a good time to talk about how Touch Tuina can help with its treatment. When it comes to addressing Rheumatoid Arthritis, different practitioners are likely to give you different terminologies. Some of them will look at rheumatism as more of an emotional imbalance, causing problems inside the muscles, tendons and ligaments, and the arthritis part as more of a nutritional imbalance.

With rheumatoid, it’s caused by mucous and damp phlegm inside the muscles and the tendons. Arthritis is wearing of the bones and wearing out of the bones. So, both are bone diseases or various aspects of it.

Here at Touch Tuina, we have both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis treatments. The benefits that Tuina can have can be amplified by increasing your blood circulation, which will also increase the efficiency of the hormonal system within the body. The increase in the circulation and the movement of blood can help to make the nutrients within the blood much more efficient, so that the blood will carry lots more of the damaged tissue or waste tissue away from the affected areas.

If you’re starting to experience, or suffering from, Rheumatoid Arthritis, why not book an appointment at one of our clinics to find out more about how we could help!
