“Most of us know at least one individual, young or old, impacted by arthritis. There’s no better way to give back than to treat yourself, a friend or family member to a relaxing and rejuvenating massage or facial,” said Lydia Alexander, Woodinville Massage Envy owner. “This is our way of helping to fight a disease that affects 50 million Americans and is our nation’s most common cause of disability.”

Today, one in five adults and nearly 300,000 children suffer from the pain of arthritis, massage therapy has been shown to help relieve some of the troublesome symptoms.

The Arthritis Foundation is committed to raising awareness and reducing the impact of this serious disease, which can severely damage joints and rob people of living life to its fullest. The Foundation funds life-changing research that has restored mobility in patients for more than six decades; fights for health care policies that improve the lives of the millions who live with arthritis; and partners with families to provide empowering programs and information.
