Television host and “Dancing with the Stars” celebrity judge Carrie Ann Inaba is helping Massage Envy Spa and the Arthritis Foundation host the third annual Healing Hands for Arthritis, a one-day national event to raise funds to find a cure for arthritis.

On Sept. 18, 2013, all of Massage Envy’s nearly 900 locations will donate $10 from every one-hour massage or facial to the Arthritis Foundation. Additionally, Massage Envy’s partners will donate 10 percent of all sales from their products sold during the event to the Arthritis Foundation, including Murad, BioFreeze and Wyndmere.

By the year 2030, an estimated 67 million or 25 percent of the projected total adult population will have arthritis. Since 2011, Massage Envy Spa has raised more than $1 million to help the Arthritis Foundation serve the 50 million adults and 300,000 children affected by the disease.

Inaba suffers from spinal stenosis, a painful arthritic condition where the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord and nerves. She has undergone treatments that have helped alleviate the pain, but arthritis is a chronic condition and regular maintenance is important. She uses both eastern and western approaches to keep her condition and pain in control. Massage has been an important part of her regimen for well being along with healthy eating habits and acupuncture.
