Medical Contraindications - Massage can be very therapeutic for many medical conditions. However, with some medical conditions it is best to have advice from your physician. Massage therapists are not medical practitioners and it is illegal and unethical for a massage therapist to attempt to diagnose any condition. If you are unsure if you suffer from a medical condition that indicates that massage should be avoided, please contact your physician prior to scheduling an appointment. Massage can only take place once it has been approved before your session in writing by your Physician.
