See below for some questions or contraindications to massage and let me know if you have any issues that would make massage unsafe for you. Take a look at the below and let me know if you have any issues that would make it unsafe for you to receive massage. Cautions about massage include the following: Vigorous massage should be avoided by people with bleeding disorders, low blood platelet counts and by people taking blood-thinning medications such as Warfarin. Massage should not be done in any area of the body with blood clots, fractures, open or healing wounds, skin infections, weakened bones (such as from osteoporosis or cancer) or where there has been a recent surgery. Although massage appears to be generally safe for cancer patients, they should consult their oncologist before having a massage that involves deep or intense pressure. Any direct pressure over atumor usually is discouraged. Cancer patients should discuss any concerns about massage with their oncologist. Pregnant women should consult their health care provider before using massage.

These include: systemic contagious or infectious diseases, including the common cold acute conditions requiring first aid or medical attention severe unstable hypertension significant fever.
