Holistic ways to beat joint pain

Massage Therapy
Indulge in a massage every month or two. This holistic therapy relaxes your muscles, increases the range of motion in your joints and reduces any swelling you may have. Remember, a joint that is flexible and relaxed tends to be less painful than one that is stiff and tense. Massage is one of those ‘luxuries’ that a busy  nurse quickly writes off when faced with a busy schedule. Just think of it as preventive care, not just a fun day at the spa!

Cynthia Dusseault
Cynthia Dusseault is a professional freelance writer with both a health and an education background. A former medical radiation technologist and elementary school teacher, she realized that no matter what she did, she was drawn to any task that involved writing, so she decided, over a decade ago, to write full-time. Since then, she has written for a variety of magazines and websites including Nursing PRN, National Review of Medicine, University Affairs, Your Health, Education Leaders Today, Today's Parent, Children's Playmate, WeightWatchers.ca and many more. She has written about topics such as asthma, genital herpes, circumcision, teleradiology, body art, learning disabilities and exercise trends, and she absolutely adores the fact that writing—particularly doing the research for the articles she writes—makes her a lifelong learner.
