Arthritis! You’ve most likely heard of it, and if you suffer from it, the word itself is enough to frustrate you. According to a National Health Survey conducted by the Australia Bureau of statistics, 1 in 7 Aussies suffer from arthritis; that’s a staggering 3.6 million people.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in Australia, and it occurs when the flexible tissue surrounding your bones, gradually wears down. Joint pain in your hands, neck, knees, hips or spine, are the most affected areas of the body, and stiffness can become severe enough to make daily tasks, such as showering, quite difficult.
So how do we fix this?
As it is a degenerative disease that worsens over time; there is no cure for arthritis, and it can’t be reversed. Therefore, it is very important to find a method that offers relief from the pain. If you have a chronic condition like arthritis, try heating things up!
I know when my body is sore or aching, 45-minutes in a 55-degree infrared sauna helps to soothe my muscles and relax my mind. When you warm up a sore joint or tired muscle, your blood vessels get bigger. This allows more blood, oxygen, and nutrients to be delivered to the injured tissues. Better circulation means more relaxation for those stiff muscles and joints.
So why not try relaxing in an infrared sauna. It’s one of the best ways to increase your core body temperature and consistent use can help with the management of chronic pain such as arthritis.
