THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

The U.S. is foremost in conventional medicine, spending most for medicine per capita. Still, 86% of non-age-related deaths and 77% of ailments in general are the consequence of chronic - speak: unsolved - diseases.
 
One of those health issues is arthritis with some 100 different types. More than 50 million Americans being affected. With special reference to
 
  • osteoarthritis (OA) - when the cartilage of joints are wearing out, leading to a change of bones. Causing swelling, stiffness – and pain.
           &
  • rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as an inflammatory disease, when the immune system attacks healthy tissues, affecting also several joints at same time even on both sides of the body.

  • range of motion like getting in and out of chairs, climbing stairs, walking in your neighborhood, playing a sport or doing recreational activities,
           but also 
  • rebuilding strength
  • correct posture
  • improvement of coordination
           and above all
  • pain relief

Especially, as this natural physical therapy came to better results than standard rheumatology.

Swimming

This type of physical movement eases the joints as it relieves the effect of gravity on the movements of the body. Accordingly, swimming does gently move the respective joints, keeping muscles strong. 
 
In fact, this impact on endurance, strength, balance, and stretching relieves pain.
 
According to research at, inter alia, the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Weight loss 

Some 80% of Americans struck with arthritis are overweight or obese, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
 
Not only is pressure on joints one-and-a-half times the personal body weight, with each step on flat surface. In case of arthritis the pressure on joints is raised up to 4 tomes the body weight. Based on findings of the U.S. Arthritis Foundation.
 
The good news is that, with any loss of 5 pound body weight, the stress on joints is reduced by 20% - with a significant pain relief as a result.
 
Therefore, lose weight, accordingly especially in cases of arthritis.

Massage
