WARNING: any physical, emotional, or mental condition that may cause a particular massage treatment to be unsafe or detrimental to the client's well-being. Contraindications may be absolute, regional, or conditional. Absolute contraindication is when massage is absolutely not appropriate, such as acute conditions (just occurred or within a time period of the occurrence) or toxemia during pregnancy. Regional contraindication is when massage is prohibited to only a local part of the body, such as local contagious conditions, open wounds and arthritis, but massaging other areas is fine. Conditional contraindications requires the adjustments of specific massage techniques when there are health concerns. Certain massage techniques may cause discomfort or have adverse effects, such conditions as cancer and pregnancy. If you have a contraindication condition, please consult your physician and get a referral or recommendation for massage.
