Contraindications

GENERAL ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATIONS

• Fever, bacterial or viral infection, therefore in the presence of an infection, the activation of the cardiovascular system is contraindicated for the heart in particular

• Thrombosis, Phlebitis (= inflammation of a vein following the presence of a blood clot), so that stimulation of the circulatory system by massage could cause this clot to migrate into a pulmonary artery thus causing an embolism pulmonary, which if massive can be fatal

• Serious heart or lung disease, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, cerebral hemorrhage, because too tonic and / or too deep a massage can lead to heart palpitations in a person with a fragile, tired heart

• Diseases related to the bones and the skeleton, such as osteoporosis which weakens the bones and promotes fractures

• Acute inflammatory conditions, such as in the joints such as a sprain, ligament rupture, muscle tear, which could be made worse with massage

• We do not perform any massage on minors, not because it is forbidden, but only in view of their fragility, therefore we prefer to avoid any manipulation that could harm their growth.

Some professional massage therapists agree to perform massage sessions on this type of patient, although they do so under certain precautions and medical advice, we prefer to be radical in categorically refusing this type of patient.
