Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is more than just joint pain—it's an autoimmune condition that causes chronic inflammation, stiffness, and fatigue. For those living in Burton on Trent and surrounding areas, managing RA can be a daily challenge. But there’s good news: innovative therapies and holistic support are making a real difference, and Body Fix Coach is here to help.

Understanding Rheumatoid Arthritis

RA occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, leading to inflammation that can damage cartilage and bones over time. Symptoms typically include:

1. Swollen, tender joints (especially in the hands, wrists, and knees)

2. Morning stiffness lasting longer than 30 minutes

3. Fatigue, weight loss, and general malaise

There’s no known cure yet, but effective management can significantly improve quality of life.

Managing RA Pain Naturally

Many people rely on medications like NSAIDs, steroids, or DMARDs, but these can come with side effects. Complementary strategies can enhance your wellbeing without replacing medical advice:

Regular, Low-Impact Movement: Gentle exercise improves joint flexibility, reduces stiffness, and boosts mood.

Anti-Inflammatory Diet: Foods rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, and whole grains help reduce inflammation.

Stress Reduction: Mindfulness, breathwork, and restorative practices can calm the nervous system and ease pain.

Bodywork & Functional Movement Coaching: Personalised movement plans prevent further joint damage and improve biomechanics.

The Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

One promising treatment in the fight against inflammation is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which increases oxygen delivery throughout the body. Here's how it supports people with RA:

Reduces Inflammation: Oxygen helps modulate the immune response, potentially calming the overactive system in RA.

Supports Healing: Enhanced oxygenation boosts tissue repair and reduces oxidative stress.

Improves Energy: Many people report improved stamina and mental clarity after sessions.

Several studies suggest that HBOT can alleviate chronic pain, reduce fatigue, and support overall immune function—all critical for people managing autoimmune conditions.
