Is massage therapy safe?

Massage therapy is considered a safe treatment option with minimal side effects or risks. Mild side effects may include temporary pain or discomfort, bruising and swelling. Some patients may experience damaged blood vessels, fever or deep vein thrombosis after massage therapy, but these side effects are extremely rare. Patients who are pregnant, have cancer, or have heart problems should talk to their doctor before undergoing this treatment. It is important for patients to only seek massage therapy from a licensed massage therapist, chiropractor or physical therapist. Receiving treatment from an unlicensed therapist may increase your risk of side effects and complications after treatment. At SHARP Treatment of South Bay, we have several licensed massage therapists on staff to help relieve pain and other symptoms for patients of all ages.
