24.01.2022 Heat is reassuring, and reassurance is analgesic Welike to share another interesting article from "Pain Science" Our comfort zone is a warm place. And so, almost no matter what kind of pain you have To reduce pain, we need to reduce credible evidence of danger & increase credible evidence of safety.... The brain probably interprets a safe source of warmth as good credible evidence of safety, for basic psychological reasons related to the environmental and social conditions we evolved in. Cold kills! Hypothermia has been at or near the top of the list of threats to our safety throughout all of prehistory and most of history.8 And we also associate warmth with contact and intimacy another powerful goodness. So a nice controlled source of warmth is probably just about the most basic reassuring thing there is. And that’s always good for pain.9 You might mistake this for a psychological effect, and it is in a sense, but it’s more useful to look at it as applied neurology: leveraging what we know about how pain neurology works. It’s more akin to triggering a reflex than a mind game.

22.01.2022 "Heat for soreness after exercise!" We like to share another interesting article from "Pain science". Perhaps the most popular therapeutic reason to get into a hot tub is to try to beat the pain of DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness) that nasty 2428 hours of muscle pain you get after unfamiliar exercise. But DOMS is mostly invincible. Researchers have proven over and over again that there really is no effective treatment for it.... Except, maybe, heat? For a long time, warm underwater jet massage hot tub jets was the only treatment that had ever shown any potential, in a 1995 study.13 But it was a small and flawed piece of research and most people know from personal experience that a soak in a hot tub may take the edge off, but hardly constitutes a miracle cure for DOMS. I mostly ignored that evidence. In 2006, we got some good science news: more persuasive data, surprisingly good results in treating DOMS in the low back with a heat wrap, a wearable device that applies heat for hours at a time.14 Another small study, but this time more persuasive one. Eureka? Proof needs more data, but this makes it well worth trying heat on your sore muscles after exercise. Happy heating!

21.01.2022 We like to share another interesting article from "Arthritis Organisation" Firstly, it’s important to consult your rheumatologist or primary-care physician first to ensure that massage is safe for you. There are many variables involved in how massage may work to ease pain, stiffness and anxiety. Your goals for massage may vary. You may be interested in relieving anxiety and stress caused by dealing with arthritis, or you may be seeking relief for pain and stiffness in a speci...fic area of your body. Talk openly with your massage therapist about your goals for the session so she can adjust the technique accordingly. There is no set way to perform a massage; she should be flexible to your needs. Massage is not medicine. It’s a complement to your doctor-prescribed arthritis treatment. You should enjoy experiencing a massage, and it should not increase your pain or anxiety. Communication with your doctor and massage therapist beforehand can ensure that massage is right for you and help you achieve beneficial results.

15.01.2022 Massage and Arthritis We like to share another interesting article from "Arthritis Fundation" Regular massage of muscles and joints, whether by a licensed therapist at a spa or by self-massage at home, can lead to a significant reduction in pain for people with arthritis, according to Tiffany Field, PhD, director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine, who’s conducted a number of studies on the benefits of massage, including on people wi...th arthritis. In Field’s research and other recent studies on the effects of massage for arthritis symptoms, regular use of the simple therapy led to improvements in pain, stiffness, range of motion, hand grip strength and overall function of the joints. While most research on massage examines its effects on the general population, not specifically people with arthritis, recently more studies are underway to study the effectiveness of massage for people with arthritis. For example, one 2006 study conducted at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey examined 68 adults with knee osteoarthritis receiving two Swedish massages per week for eight weeks, compared to a group who received no massage. The massage group reported significant improvements in knee pain, stiffness, function, range of motion and walking, the researchers found.

12.01.2022 "How Does Massage Work?" While some studies show that massage can reduce pain and anxiety for people with arthritis, how exactly does massage make these results happen? Research has shown that massage can lower the body’s production of the stress hormone cortisol, and boost production of serotonin, which, in turn, can improve mood. Additionally, massage can lower production of the neurotransmitter substance P, often linked to pain, and improve sleep as a result. In 2010, rese...archers at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Medicine and the nearby Cedars-Sinai Medical Center studied 53 healthy adults receiving just one Swedish massage therapy session and found that the participants’ levels of key hormones and white blood cells were positively affected. For example, the hormone arginine-vasopressin, which may lower blood pressure, was decreased, along with some inflammatory cytokines like IL-4 and IL-10. Cortisol levels were reduced by massage in this study as well, although not significantly. For more: http://www.arthritis.org//oth/massage/massage-benefits.php

09.01.2022 How does therapeutic heating work? We like to share another interesting article from "painscience.com" Let's explore different mechanisms and details of how heating might be helpful to people in pain:... 1, Heat is reassuring, and reassurance is analgesic. (This is applied neurology, not just a psychological effect.) 2, Heat can penetrate a few centimetres into tissue, and cells and biochemistry speed up when the tissue temperature rises, which might have therapeutic implications. For instance 3, Heat may have an effect on the common painful phenomenon known as trigger points. 4, Heat may help soreness after exercise. 5, Tiger Balm and similar products are spicy not warm, but they might tinker usefully with sensation: a neurological distraction. https://www.painscience.com/articles/heating.php
