OK massage contraindications means when you shouldn’t get a MASSAGE! Massage therapists are NOT doctors! If you are unsure about your condition PLEASE consult with your doctor first! If we the Licensed Massage therapists have any doubt we will cancel your appointment until we have an actual doctors note from your physician.
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BOOK A MASSAGE IF …. YOU HAVE…
* A Fever
* Contagious Diseases(herpes, shingles, chickenpox etc)
* Recent surgeries
* Acute injuries
* first semester pregnancy
* under the influence of drugs or alcohol or a combination
* sunburned
* nervous or psychotic conditions
* vomiting or diarrhea
* open sores or wounds
Of course their are many more. It amazes me how many people DON’T understand why they can’t get a massage if any of these pertains to them. Massages can either help you or hurt you so PLEASE be honest with your therapist . Let them know beforehand your concerns. We as Massage therapists need to be aware so we can help you the best we know how. We are highly trained individuals and we know when and when NOT TO Massage you! PLEASE DON’T ARGUE with us about it! THANKYOU! 😁
