Precautions
Massage is not recommended for certain people:
- if you have an infectious skin disease, rash, or open cut or wound
- immediately after surgery without a doctors authorization
- immediately after chemotherapy or radiation, unless recommended by your doctor
- if you are prone to blood clots. There is a risk of blood clots being dislodged and causing complications.

- pregnant women should check with their doctor first if they are considering getting a massage.
- Massage should not be done directly over bruises, inflamed skin, unhealed wounds, tumors, abdominal hernia, or areas of recent fractures.
Additional tips
- Don’t eat a heavy meal before the massage
- If it's your first time at the clinic or spa, arrive at least 10 minutes early to complete the necessary forms. Otherwise, arrive 5 minutes early so you can have a few minutes to rest and relax before starting the massage.
- Be sure that your massage therapist has your health history, because people with certain conditions should not have massage.
- If you feel discomfort at any time, let your massage therapist know.
