OUR TREATMENTS & PRICES

Massage is generally contraindicated, or not recommended, for individuals with certain medical conditions, including those with infectious diseases like the flu or cold, skin conditions like open sores or contagious infections, or those with serious conditions like heart disease or recent surgery. Additionally, individuals with fever, blood clots, or recent fractures may also need to avoid massage.

 

Conditions Where Massage is Generally Contraindicated:

 

• Infectious Diseases:

Any contagious illness, including the flu, cold, or COVID-19, should prompt a delay in massage until the individual is no longer contagious. 

 

• Skin Conditions:

Open wounds, rashes, burns, or active infections on the skin may make massage unsuitable. Infectious skin conditions like herpes, warts, or impetigo should also be avoided. 

 

• Heart Conditions:

Heart disease, including recent heart attacks, high blood pressure, or arrhythmia, may make massage unsuitable. 

 

• Blood Clots:

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism should be avoided during massage as the massage could dislodge the blood clot and cause further complications. 

 

• Fever:

A high fever can make massage uncomfortable and potentially worsen the condition. 

 

• Recent Surgery or Injuries:

Massage should be avoided for a certain period after surgery, and may be modified or avoided altogether after acute injuries.

 

• Osteoporosis:

Massage may not be suitable for individuals with osteoporosis, as it can increase the risk of fractures.

 

• Pregnancy:

Massage can be safe during pregnancy, but certain areas should be avoided, and a doctor's recommendation may be needed. 

 

• Diabetes:

Individuals with diabetes may experience skin complications like wounds or ulcers, which should be avoided during massage.

 

• Nerve Damage:

Massage may not be suitable for individuals with nerve damage, especially if it is in the area being massaged. 

 

• Certain Mental Health Conditions:

Some nervous or psychotic conditions may make massage unsuitable. 

 

Conditions Where Massage May Require Medical Consent or Modification:

• Chronic Conditions:

Conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, or multiple sclerosis may require medical consent before massage. 

 

• Uncontrolled Hypertension or Diabetes:

These conditions may need to be managed before massage. 

 

• Bleeding or Bruising Issues:

If someone has a bleeding disorder, they should consult their doctor before getting a massage. 

 

• Medications:

Certain medications, like blood thinners, may require caution or modification of the massage. 

 

Important Note: It is always best to consult with a doctor or other healthcare professional before getting a massage, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. The therapist should also be informed of any medical conditions before the massage to ensure it is safe and appropriate.

​

In case of bleeding and blood thinning treatment, we can only offer a gentle massage, and in case of varicose veins, we can not provide the massage on the lower limb.
