Find Comfort and Mobility: Certified Arthrossage® for Arthritis Relief
At Spirit & Body Massage, we know how exhausting living with arthritis can be. Everyday tasks — buttoning a shirt, getting out of bed, walking up stairs — can feel overwhelming when joints are stiff and painful. That is why Katie and Linda, both certified in Arthrossage®, offer this specialized approach to help our clients find relief and regain confidence in their bodies.
Understanding Arthritis
According to the CDC, one in five U.S. adults lives with some form of arthritis. Symptoms can include joint pain, swelling, stiffness after rest, fatigue, and loss of flexibility. Over time, these changes may limit activity, reduce muscle tone, and affect quality of life.
While medication and lifestyle changes play important roles, therapeutic massage can be a powerful partner in your wellness plan. Arthrossage is specifically developed to address the needs of people with arthritis.
What Makes Arthrossage Different
Unlike traditional Swedish or deep-tissue massage, arthritis massage is performed fully clothed with gentle, targeted movements. Our therapists use a combination of joint-friendly mobilization, light compression, and muscle-lengthening techniques to increase circulation and improve joint lubrication without causing pain.
This integrative method draws on both Eastern and Western traditions as well as up-to-date medical massage practices. It’s ideal for anyone seeking a safe, nurturing way to relieve joint discomfort.
Benefits You May Notice

- Improved flexibility and range of motion – gentle joint mobilization helps maintain or regain motion after flare-ups.
- Better circulation and lymphatic flow – helps the body clear metobolic waste, easing inflammation.

What exactly is Arthrossage?
Arthrossage is a gentle, clothing-on style of medical massage created especially for people with arthritis and joint pain. It combines light joint mobilization, muscle-lengthening and circulation-boosting techniques to ease stiffness and support joint health.
How is Arthrossage different from regular massage?
Traditional Swedish or deep tissue massage focuses mainly on muscles and often uses oil or lotion directly on the skin. Arthrossage is done fully clothed and is tailored to protect sensitive joints, using slower, more precise movements designed for arthritis relief.
What kinds of arthritis can benefit?
Clients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, ankylosing spondylitis, fibromyalgia, or joint stiffness from aging or injury may find Arthrossage helpful—especially during times when symptoms are stable.
What symptoms can Arthrossage help relieve?
Many clients report less pain and stiffness, greater range of motion, easier movement in daily tasks, and improved relaxation and sleep.
How long is a typical session?
You can book Arthrossage as a focused 30-minute stand-alone treatment or add it to your 60- or 90-minute massage session for a more complete experience.
Do I need to undress?
No. Arthrossage is a clothing-on treatment. We recommend comfortable, stretchy clothing such as yoga or lounge wear.
Is Arthrossage safe during a flare-up?
It’s best to wait until acute inflammation subsides. If your joints are hot, red, or severely swollen, check with your healthcare provider first. We’re happy to coordinate with your doctor.
Does it hurt?
Arthrossage is designed to stay within your comfort level. We use gentle movements and always check in with you about pressure and pain.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your goals and your body’s response. Some clients feel relief after one session; others benefit from a series to maintain joint health between flare-ups.

Both Katie and Linda are certified in Arthrossage and bring years of medical massage experience to every session.
Can Arthrossage replace my medical treatment?
No. Arthrossage is a supportive therapy meant to complement your physician’s care plan, not replace medical treatment or medication.
