Massage is very helpful. Better yet, full-body massage improves circulation and lymphatic flow which assists healing. Several years ago when I realized how important and helpful it is and that to be truly effective it needs to be done 3 times per week, I calculated how much my chosen massage therapist charges for a 30 minute to one hour session. Then i determined the cost for a medical grade massage chair and saw that going to my local masseuse would pay for the chair in just under 3 months. I highly recommend having a look at massagechairdeals.com. They are wholesale prices, free delivery, 0%interest payment plans and offer extended warranties longer than the manufacturer. 💆‍♀️

Love deep tissue massages. Helped m alot.

I get massages twice a week from my physical therapist and it is hard to function without them, so, definitely, yes it helps me. Make sure your massage therapist knows you have AS though...mine is very careful.

I can not handle any kind of massage because I have pressure points and they are extremely painful. I wish I could get relief from something like that.
