There are very few instances where massage is not recommended, and these are called total contraindications. This includes being under the influence of alcohol, suffering from a cold/flu/fever, diarrhoea or vomiting or have a contagious skin infection. There are also ‘local contraindications’ which are conditions affecting specific areas of the body such as cuts, bruises or areas of injury; these areas will be avoided. Severe medical conditions such as heart problems, respiratory issues, cancer, or epilepsy will require medical approval from your GP stating that you are safe to receive a massage.
The conditions mentioned above are for indication only, so if you are concerned that any of the medical conditions apply to you, please contact us first to check that the treatment is suitable for you. You should not attend for a massage if you believe that you are suffering from or have been exposed to Covid-19.
