Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that most typically affects the small joints in your hands and feet. This condition causes a painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity. In addition to causing joint problems, rheumatoid arthritis can also affect your whole body with fever and fatigue. 

While there's unfortunately no cure for this medical condition, massage therapy has been found helpful in managing symptoms and alleviating pain. At Nova, we encourage our clients with Rheumatoid arthritis to explore the following spa services:
