Is massage therapy always appropriate?
Your massage practitioner will take a complete medical history prior to initiating treatment and will also be able to tell you if massage is not appropriate for you at that time. It is very important that you inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you suffer from certain circulatory ailments (such as phlebitis), infectious diseases, certain forms of cancer, cardiac problems, certain skin conditions, or any inflamed or infected tissues, be sure to consult your physician before initiating any massage program.
