WHO SHOULD NOT GET HANDS ON MASSAGE THERAPY: Anyone with a serious, contagious, or unstable medical condition should not have a hands-on massage. The primary reasons to avoid a massage include the risk of harming the client, spreading an infection, or making an existing condition worse. A healthcare provider's clearance is essential for anyone with an underlying health condition. Absolute contraindications. These conditions typically mean a massage should not be performed at all. Serious and unstable health conditions: Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Severe cardiovascular disease, Active cancer, Severe osteoporosis, Recent surgery, Organ failure, Infectious and contagious illnesses, Fever, Communicable diseases, Contagious skin conditions, Acute injuries and inflammatory conditions, Recent trauma, Open wounds, burns, or severe bruising. Relative or local contraindications. These issues require that a massage be either modified or avoided in a specific area. Pregnancy, Varicose veins, Medications: Blood thinners increase the risk of bruising, so deep tissue work may not be appropriate. Pain medications can also dull sensation, which could lead to excessive pressure. Diabetes, Undiagnosed pain, lumps, or bumps: A doctor should evaluate these before any massage is performed. Emotional and psychological distress: For those dealing with trauma, massage can be overwhelming. A trauma-informed therapist or prior counseling may be necessary. Local injections: The area should be avoided until healed. When in doubt, consult a medical doctor. It is crucial to be fully transparent about your health history with any massage therapist. If you have any serious health concerns, speak with a doctor before receiving a massage to ensure it is safe for your specific condition.
