Fever - Massage Therapy, Spa & Salon Service Contraindication

Fever - Massage Therapy, Spa & Salon Service Contraindication

Author: Selena Belisle, Founder/Instructor, CE Institute LLC, Miami FL

A fever is a temporary increase in your body temperature, often due to an illness. Having a fever is a sign that something out of the ordinary is going on in your body.  For an adult, a fever may be uncomfortable, but usually isn't a cause for concern unless it reaches 103 F or higher.

Fever occurs when an area in your brain called the hypothalamus — also known as your body's "thermostat" — shifts the set point of your normal body temperature upward. When this happens, you may feel chilled and add layers of clothing or wrap up in a blanket, or you may shiver to generate more body heat, eventually resulting in an elevated body temperature.

Normal body temperature varies throughout the day — it's lower in the morning and higher in the late afternoon and evening. Although most people consider 98.6 F normal, your body temperature can vary by a degree or more — from about 97 F to 99 F — and still be considered normal.

Fever or elevated body temperature might be caused by:

  • A virus
  • A bacterial infection
  • Heat exhaustion
  • Certain inflammatory conditions (i.e. rheumatoid arthritis)
  • A malignant tumor
  • Some medications (i.e. antibiotics, seizure or blood pressures medications)
  • Some immunizations
  • Sometimes the cause of a fever cannot be identified[i]

A fever can be a sign of a more serious medical illness, which could include infectious or contagious disease.  It is usually best to refer a feverish client to a physician, and in some cases, request approval and/or direction from the physician for massage therapy, spa or salon services.

    Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience in case it can help someone going through what I went through. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with herpes. It was a very difficult time for me emotionally, physically, and mentally. Like many people, I believed what I had always heard: that there was no cure and that I’d have to live with the virus for the rest of my life.
    Despite everything, I didn’t give up hope. I spent a lot of time researching, trying different treatments, and looking for anything that might help. Eventually, a close friend told me about an herbal doctor named Dr. Utu. At first, I was skeptical, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I reached out to him, and after a detailed conversation, he sent me an herbal treatment. I followed the instructions exactly as he provided.
    To my surprise, after about a month, my symptoms were completely gone. I felt better than I had in a long time. I went to get tested multiple times over the following months, and each test came back negative. I couldn’t believe it after years of carrying this virus, it was gone. I waited a long time before sharing my story publicly because I wanted to be absolutely sure. Now, after consistent negative tests and no symptoms, I feel confident saying that Dr. Utu’s herbal remedy helped me in a way that no conventional treatment ever did.
    If you’re dealing with herpes and feel like you’re out of options, I encourage you to explore every possibility. This worked for me. If you want more information, here is Dr. Utu’s email: drutuherbalcure@gmail.com

    For a long time, my life was overshadowed by the challenges of managing a herpes virus infection. I suffered from painful outbreaks on my penis, and these blisters always seemed to surface when I was feeling unwell. This cycle of discomfort was exhausting, especially since I had tried various medications like Valtrex and acyclovir, but none provided the permanent solution I desperately sought. My doctor informed me that there was no cure for the virus, but deep down, I couldn’t accept this reality. I have a strong belief in the power of nature, and I am a devoted follower of Dr. Sebi’s philosophies regarding holistic health.
    One day, a friend recommended Dr. Utu’s herbal cure, sharing her own success story of complete recovery within just four weeks. Encouraged by her experience, I decided to reach out to Dr. Utu and ordered the herbal remedy. To my amazement, after following the treatment plan diligently, I found myself completely cured of the virus.
    This transformation has significantly improved my quality of life. I now feel free from the constant worry of outbreaks and can enjoy life without the physical pain and emotional stress that once plagued me. I urge anyone battling similar challenges to explore all options available. Don’t let anyone mislead you—there is an alternatives worth considering. If you’re seeking a permanent cure, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Utu at drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
