​When Is It Not Okay
to Get a Massage?

When Isn't Massage Appropriate?


Not all types of massage are appropriate for all conditions.  Many health conditions may require gentler forms of massage therapy, or more specialized techniques and treatment plans. In many cases, your massage therapist can come up with a treatment plan that will work for you and your health situation. ​
​Even some prescribed or over-the-counter medications can contraindicate receiving certain types of massage therapy.  Be sure to list any medications you are taking, and inform your therapist of any changes since your last visit.

​
In some situations, your massage therapist may request your physician's consent and recommendations before performing massage.
It is important for you to fully complete your Health History form and keep your massage therapist up to date on your condition.  

​
Be sure to let your massage therapist know if you have:
  • Any acute injury from a recent accident such as whiplash, sprains, or other soft tissue damage. 
  • Swelling or edema.
  • Acute conditions such as flared-up psoriasis, eczema, or rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes, prominent varicose veins, osteoporosis, or any other serious medical conditions.
