Arthritis is One of Our Main Concerns & Specialties

 

Approach to working with Arthritis:

  • Using some form of emu oil on individuals with arthritis.
    • Emu oil crosses the skin much deeper than most oil.
    • Research has found emu oil to have anti-inflammatory properties (Snowden & Whitehouse 1997).
    • This anti-inflammatory property is particularly useful for individuals who have inflamed joints.
  • Performing Swedish (relaxation) massage on the joints
    •
    • Circulatory system to flush waste out of arthritic joint
    • Lymphatic system to flush waste out of the arthritic joint
  • Working on the muscles surrounding the joints to loosen them up to further decrease pain.
