Medical Conditions that Preclude Massage or Bodywork
It’s important to note that there are some conditions where massage is not recommended. For example, massage is contraindicated in people with certain forms of cancer, phlebitis, some cardiac problems, skin conditions and infectious diseases. Practitioners and consumers are strongly encouraged when there is any doubt to discuss specific health conditions and seek a doctor’s consultation and permission before providing or undergoing services.
