ratesEXTRA INFO : CONTRA-INDICATIONS
CONTRA-INDICATIONS pg2/2
• Cardiovascular conditions, e.g. angina, haemophilia, high blood pressure, thrombosis (blood clots). Massage over varicose veins should be avoided.
• Bone and joint injuries like fractures and dislocations. In those who have had long recovery from a serious fracture, caution may be required.
• Care should be taken with those who have diabetes, as massage can mimic exercise in terms of the change in blood sugar levels.
• Caution will be exercised in those with osteoporosis and those with conditions affecting the back, hip, shoulder or knee. This is particularly important in the case of Thai massage. Please consult your GP / health practitioner for further guidance, especially if you have a condition that is already being treated by a medically qualified person.
