Yes it can by increasing blood flow to an area.
Absolutely. Manual lymphatic drainage, has been shown to reduce both swelling and pain and it supports patients with arthritis.
For arthritis I recommend paraffin wax dips for the hand, fingers feet and toes. Or bushed on for the back, elbows, knees and where you can't submerge into a bag full of wax.
As far as massage is concerned, gentle Swedish massage is the best for arthritis, as long as you don't have a painful flair up.

Yes, 100%
Before I had my hip replaced I tried everything from NSAIDS to Chiropractic and the ONLY thing that made me feel more comfortable until I had the hip replaced was Massage.
