 Contraindications of massage


Being massage therapists, we usually tell people about the benefits a massage can give you. Nevertheless, there are instances where getting a massage is not the best treatment a person may need. They are usually called massage contraindications, meaning that a person may have a condition where a massage on a single part of the body or the whole body would not be beneficial to the individual. Some of there contraindications are as follows:
  •  A high temperature
  • Infectious and acute disease
  • Inflammation
  • Varicose veins
  • High blood pressure
  • Fractures, burns or bleeding
  • Opens sores or lesions 
  • Blood clots
  • Osteoporosis 

This list does not cover all contraindications so if in doubt consult your doctor first.  If you have a resent injury, say a sprained ankle with in the first 24 hours the best course of action is to follow the first aid principles of R.I.C.E
  • Rest
  • Ice

  • Elevation
(nb, you should apply ice in fifteen-minute intervals- homemade ice packs of ice cubes and a towel will work as well as a commercial one. You do not want to put the ice pack directly to the skin or let it sit on the area for long periods.) It may also be advisable to see your doctor at this point.
