Hydrotherapy
This is another therapy that helps the body get rid of toxins. The moist heat can be beneficial in alleviating joint pain. Try taking more hot showers and spend time in warm swimming pools and hot steam rooms (not dry saunas) and indulge in an Epsom salt bath a few times a week. You can also purchase some moist heat packs and store a few in your locker or drawer at work. On your coffee break or lunch, take some time to indulge in a cup of tea (maybe ginger tea) while a moist heat pack is wrapped around whatever area you’re feeling pain in. You’ll feel refreshed, relaxed and ready to go back to work.

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.
