Massage
Massaging the joints and muscles affected by arthritis would be effective in alleviating the pain and discomfort. Many studies have shown that this activity would reduce the release of cortisol, a stress hormone, and neurotransmitter, which is related to pain. More importantly, massaging would also enhance the levels of serotonin to improve your mood. You can easily perform these tasks easily at home. But to ensure effectiveness, you should choose a licensed and professional therapist who is specialized in arthritis or associated health issues. [2]
