There are contraindications to massage and in those cases some parts of the treatment should be left out, adjusted or not be done at all. You should ask the masseur when booking the appointment if you have some questions or doubts. If we can’t answer straight then we still find out and get back to you. You should mention the things listed below and other serious and acute illnesses and accidents when you are making the booking and definitely during the introductory consultation. The things listed below don’t always prohibit the treatment if the treatment of the illness and the medication is correct. In uncertain cases you should ask the treating doctor if massage is suitable for you. If you e.g. have recently had a cancer surgery you should ask for a written permit for a massage from the doctor or another party.
