Contraindications For Massage

It is recommended for you (the client) to contact your medical doctor to clear you for massage.

Clear communication is necessary. If you have any medical conditions, recent injuries or surgeries, or regular medications, the massage therapist needs to be informed prior to the massage treatment. You need to fill out a health history form.

Contraindication is a condition that serves as a reason to withhold or refuse a treatment due to the harm that it would cause a patient.

Contraindication in massage means that massage treatment SHOULD NOT BE USED; Massage being contraindicated means massage should not be applied in the given condition or circumstance.

Below is a list of conditions that you should make your massage therapist aware of immediately. In doing so, you are ensuring your safety and providing the massage therapist with valuable information that will allow them to provide you with safe, effective massage care.
