Arthritis Relief at your Fingertips: The Complete Self-Care Guide to Easing Aches and Pains Without Drugs
By Michael Reed Gach

Four million Canadians suffer from arthritis and about 600,000 are disabled by this chronic disease. The pain associated with arthritis can make day to day activities difficult, if not impossible. Conventional treatments are generally long term and can have serious side effects. But there is relief through one of the oldest therapies that we know - touch.

Discover the 12 arthritis relief pressure points, as well as specific treatments for the problem areas of your body. The target exercises include those for the hands, arm and shoulder, neck, back, knee, hip, sciatic, foot and ankle pain. In addition, learn how to use common household items (rolling pins, balls, clothes pins, pencils, etc) to increase relief and access hard to reach areas.

Gach also stresses the importance of eating a healthy balanced diet; "the bodies most basic medicine." Included are foods to avoid and dietary recommendations to alleviate arthritis. As a bonus, you will find recipes suggested by Gach to strengthen your metabolism and alkalize the system - beneficial to arthritis sufferers.

In addition, Gach includes an arthritis diary/checklist to help you find the focus of your pain, to determine what makes the pain worse, and to monitor your progress. This is an excellent tool to help you gain control of your own health.

Michael Reed Gach is the founder and director of the Acupressure Institute of America, in Berkeley California. He is a leading expert on finger pressure and has successfully eased the pain experienced by thousands of arthritis and rheumatism sufferers. Other books by Gach include: Acu-Yoga, and Greater Energy at your Fingertips.

The techniques that you will discover in this book are meant to complement regular medical treatment. It may also be helpful for you to find a practitioner of massage, acupressure, Jin Shin Do, or Shiatsu. Any one of these therapists can get you started on the road to relief.
