The following is a general list of medical conditions where massage and bodywork is generally not advised/contraindicated. Seek a physician’s advice about an individual’s specific medical condition PRIOR to providing bodywork.

Impetigo: Bacterial Infection of the Skin. Rash with fluid-filled blisters. HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS. Ensure all lesions are healed before massage can be considered.

Someone recovering from a recent infection (i.e. bronchitis) may be “okay” for massage. It is always best to check with their physician FIRST, prior to providing bodywork. Discontinue bodywork services immediately if client with recent infection or inflammation shows any signs of medical or physical distress.
