We couldn't finish Arthritis Awareness Month without talking about what we know best... Massage Therapy!
We asked our three RMTs, Ashley, Kirstie and Braden, how massage can fit into the picture for someone living with arthritis.
While massage can't cure arthritis, it may help with some of the things that come along with it. Muscle tension, stiffness, pain, reduced mobility and stress.
Treatment can also be adjusted depending on how you're feeling that day. Sometimes that means lighter pressure, different positioning or avoiding an irritated area altogether.

And what you do between appointments matters too.

Keep moving within your comfort level. Gentle range of motion and strengthening exercises can help support the joints, and water exercise is a great option because the water takes some of the load off sore joints while still providing resistance for your muscles.
But most importantly, listen to your body. A hot, swollen or actively inflamed joint isn't something we want to work deeply on. New , significant or persistent joint pain should be discussed with your healthcare provider so you can get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

When we think about arthritis, we usually think about our joints. Pain, stiffness, swelling and flare ups. But what about the role nutrition can play?
We asked Jackie, our Nutrition & Life Coach here at TMT to share her perspective.
Jackie reminds us that inflammation can happen throughout the body and that an anti-inflammatory way of eating can be another way we support our overall health.
She shared an anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid that focuses on things like colourful fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, nuts and seeds, fish, herbs and spices.
Of course, nutrition isn't a cure for arthritis and it doesn't mean you need a “perfect” diet. It’s simply another piece of the puzzle when we're looking at inflammation and supporting our bodies.

Today we’re excited to welcome Rachelle Kaasgaard back to TMT!
Rachelle is a Certified Reflexologist offering Foot Reflexology on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day.

Reflexology is a relaxing treatment that can help ease tension, promote relaxation and support overall well being. For those living with conditions such as arthritis or chronic pain, having ways to relax and manage the stress and tension that can come along with ongoing discomfort can be an important part of self care.

We know some of you have been waiting for Reflexology to return to TMT and we’re very happy to have Rachelle back!

Online booking available at www.themassagetemple.ca

We know arthritis affects the body, but chronic pain can affect so much more than just our joints & muscles.
We asked Mattie, our Certified Canadian Counsellor here at TMT, to share her perspective:

“Living with chronic pain from a condition like arthritis, and its variations, can be debilitating both physically and mentally. Feeling unable to participate fully with your family, in your job, or in your community can feel like your joy is diminished and sometimes there is a loss of hope.
Although counselling cannot alleviate the physical pain, feeling validation in your emotions and experiences can help make the path feel more manageable.”

Sometimes having a safe place to talk about the frustration, changes and emotions that come with chronic pain can be an important part of taking care of yourself too.
Mattie offers individual and couples counselling at TMT, with evening appointments available. She can also direct bill many insurance companies.
Your physical health and mental health go hand in hand. Support is available for both.
