Contra Indications: Swedish Massage Tips & Techniques

Video Transcript

Hi! I’m Tunisia Woods and I’m back again representing Hello Beautiful Mobile Massage Therapy Group on behalf of Expert Village. Now, I want to tell you about the contra indications of massage. You ask what that is; that is when you should not work on a client. You should not work on a client if they are pregnant. Now, I’m not saying that pregnant people don’t get massages, but I’m saying it’s best for them to go to a person who is licensed to do pregnancy massage. Also, what you want to work around is any open cuts or sores. You want to work around any bruises; you want to work around any varicose veins…things that may be uncomfortable for the client and things that you just don’t want to touch. Also, if someone is sick, you can possibly make the sickness speed up if you massage, because it deals with body fluids and gets everything going. Also, if a person is just down and out, sometimes it’s good, but sometimes you need to make sure that they’re okay with it, and you don’t want to work on anyone that is uncomfortable. Some people don’t like females working on them, or some people may feel with males working on them. You need to make sure that everything is okay before you start your massage. Thank you!
