Why You Shouldn't Get A Massage

Hold on, Don't Get a Massage...Just Yet!

Massage therapy is a fantastic way to unwind, relieve tension, and improve your overall well-being. But like most things in life, it's not always sunshine and rainbows. There are certain situations where massage might not be the best idea.


Here are 5 contraindications (or reasons why you shouldn't get a massage) to consider before booking your next session:


  1. Fever: If you're feeling under the weather with a fever, massage could worsen your illness by spreading it further.

  2. Fresh Injuries: Massaging a new injury can disrupt the healing process and cause more inflammation.

  3. Blood Clots: If you have a history of blood clots, massage could dislodge them and lead to serious complications.

  4. Contagious Conditions: If you're battling a contagious illness, hold off on massage to avoid spreading it to your therapist or other clients.

  5. Certain Medications: Some medications, like blood thinners, can increase your risk of bleeding during a massage.


But wait! Does this mean you have to give up on your massage dreams? Not necessarily! If you don't experience any of these contraindications, a massage could be exactly what you need to melt away stress and tension.
