Lupus Disease

This autoimmune disease attacks the human body affecting the skin, blood, organs, brain, joints and more, causing pain, fatigue and other issues for the person suffering with it. 

Frequent massages benefit people suffering with Lupus by promoting relaxation, relief of joint pain, and better sleep. Due to the possibility of bruising or bleeding under the skin with any hard or vigorous types of massages only gentle, relaxation types are advisable for people with this condition. 

However, if there are lesions in the skin or an acute Lupus flare, then massage should be avoided until the wound has healed and the flare up settles down. During these times, Reiki therapy can be of significant help. With this therapy the body will lower its stress level, relax and improve sleep.  

If you’re looking for some comfort from Lupus then consider adding massages and/or Reiki therapy to your treatment regimen. Make sure you speak about your condition with the therapist or practitioner before any sessions so they can plan the correct protocol and modalities with you so you’ll receive the best results with your care.
