In 1942 a group in Bournemouth, England formed the Arthritis Association. At the time of its inception, the Arthritis Association consisted of forty nine people who had all at one point in their lives been affected by arthritis and recovered from the ailment. Charles de Coti-Marsh was credited during the Arthritis Association’s first meeting, for his skill, kindness and patience to help those crippled by arthritis to walk once again. He had a long career of some twenty six years dedicated to researching and helping those suffering from arthritis to become healthy again. In his twenty six year career he helped thousands of people cope and recover from this debilitating disease.

The Arthritis Association is continuing Charles de Coti-Marsh’s work and has in turn helped, and continues to help, thousands of people each year. People who without the help of the Arthritis Association would not be able t enjoy the same quality of life they had before the onset of the illness. Without the work of the Arthritis Association many of these people would be living in constant pain, unable to take on even the simplest of tasks. Thanks to the work of Charles de Coti-Marsh and the Arthritis Association, arthritis sufferers need not live life deprived of activity and joy.

After 60 years, the Arthritis Association still practices and teaches the treatment techniques and methods developed by Charles de Coti-Marsh. Even with sixty years of medical advancements, researchers, doctors, and scientists have not been able to find anything bad with the techniques of Charles de Coti-Marsh, and regard his work and the work of the Arthritis Association to be virtually flawless and well worth following.

In the United Kingdom alone, there is an estimated nine million cases of arthritis, thus, the work of the Arthritis Association is more relevant than one might think. For instance, over the years since its humble beginnings, the Arthritis Association has been able to identify more than one hundred different forms of arthritis. This knowledge is very beneficial in the quest to find a viable cure for the disease, as well as to be able to help those suffering from arthritis find the best treatments for their particular, unique, ailment.

The Arthritis Association is always appreciative of any help they receive from the public, so this means that even if you are not an arthritis sufferer, you can get involved and help those around you. The Arthritis Association will welcome you in, and help you to promote them in your area. The Arthritis Association also has a newsletter, aptly named ‘The Arthritis Association news’, which you can hand around to those interested in learning more about arthritis and the Arthritis Association.

Apart from just researching the disease and educating the public, the Arthritis Association also helps people with the illness to get treatment. Not just regular doctor visits, but they also help patients receive in home visits and consultations. Not just to treat the patient but also to guide them in their struggle against arthritis. Hopefully this article has not only informed you about the Arthritis Association and their work, but also inspired you to reach out and help in the fight against arthritis.
