How it works

Psychological stress activates the HPA axis and sympathetic nervous system, increasing pro-inflammatory cytokines that trigger RA flares. Mind-body techniques reduce cortisol and catecholamine levels.

Should complement medical treatment. Most evidence from CBT and MBSR programmes. Addressing depression and anxiety — highly prevalent in RA — also improves pain tolerance and medication adherence.

Getting started

This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
