Hi, does anyone know about anyone working as a massage therapist with Rhemathoid Arthtitis? I am wondering about going to school to learn this, but i dont want to fork out $20 grand for something i might not be able to do.... Thank you! MO
What triggers your immune response? by: Hans Albert Quistorff, LMP
My understanding is that ostioarthritus is caused by improper tension across joints but rheumatoid arthritis by an immune system response. In learning massage I learned to relieve the stress on my joints and have improved in the 13 years I have been doing the work. If you are not able to control the immune triggers you will probably have periods where you are not able to work. I would recommend working with a naturopathic doctor that could guide you in understanding your condition and support you in your goal of being a massage therapist.
