Massage Contraindications - Why Some People Cannot Receive a Massage
Massage therapy is a wonderful and beneficial form of holistic health care. Massage can provide stress relief, muscle tension relief, improve circulation, and the list goes on. But massage can be detrimental to your health if you have certain physical conditions, illnesses, or disease. You can also put your therapist at risk of contracting certain illness or disease if you are in a contagious state of health.
The term "massage contraindication" means you are not able to receive massage, or the massage may be limited to certain areas of your body. When you are contraindicated for a massage it is for your health and safety as well as the massage therapists. Not all contraindications mean that you will never be able to have a massage. There are two types of contraindications: local contraindications and absolute contraindications.
Local Contraindications
Local contraindications are conditions involving a pathology related illness/disease or an acute injury. These conditions mean caution must be exercised and the massage must be adapted to the condition. This is to ensure the safety of both the client and the therapist. For the client, the massage must be adjusted as to ensure it will not spread the condition, or further injure the client. For the therapist, it is to ensure the therapist does not contract the disease.
If you have what is determined to be a local contraindication your therapist may require a doctor's release before he will agree to provide you with a massage. While some local contraindications only require that you and your therapist discuss the condition and tailor the massage accordingly. In either Case, it is the therapist that will make the final decision as to whether or not you will be able to receive the massage. This is done to protect your health and safety as well as the massage therapist.
A massage may be adjusted for a local contraindication in several ways. It can mean an area is to be avoided, such a the lower leg of a recently sprained ankle. It can require that the pressure be adjusted during the massage. The position in which the client is lying the massage table is adjusted, such as using a side lying position for pregnant women. It can also mean the time allowed for the massage be adjusted.
Some of the more common local contraindications include, but are not limited to: Abnormal lumps, Ance Vulgaris, athlete's foot, blisters, bruises, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Colitis, Crohn's Disease, Cystitis (Baker's and sebaceous), Decubitus Ulcers, Gouty Arthritis, Graves' Disease, hernia, Hyper and Hypothyroidism, infectious diseases, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, local inflammation, open wounds, Phlebitis, poison ivy - oak - sumac, Shingles, swollen lymph glands, ulcers, unhealed burns (sunburn if not widespread), Varicose Veins, and warts.
The following conditions will require a medical doctors clearance: Acromegaly, Aneurysm, Atherosclerosis, Burns, Cancer, Cerebrovascular accident, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Congestive Heart Failure, Coronary Artery Disease, Hemophelia, Hodgkin's Disease, Kidney Stones, Leukemia, Myasthenia Gravis, Nephrosis, Peritonitis, Polycystic Kidney Disease, and Uremia.
Absolute Contraindications
Absolute contraindications are conditions where you cannot receive a massage. Giving a massage to someone who has an absolute contraindication can result in serious health risks for the client and/or the therapist. Some absolute contraindications can even cause death to the client.
Not all absolute contraindications are permanent; meaning you may have a condition that, once it clears, you can receive a massage. These conditions are typically an illness such as a viral infection. Some conditions are permanent and unfortunately if you have one, you will not be able to receive massage. In either Case, as long as the condition is in an acute stage, you will be denied massage therapy.
The following is a list of common, but temporary, absolute contraindications for massage: Chickenpox, Contact Dermatitis (if wide spread), diarrhea (if due to infection), fever, German Measles, Gout (during acute phase), Hepatitis, Hives, High Blood Pressure (unless controlled by medication, diet or exercise) Influenza (the flu), lice, Lupus (during a flare up), measles, Mononucleosis (mono), Mumps, Pneumonia, Ringworm, recent injuries or surgeries, Scabies, and Tonsillitis. This list is not definitive, but a list of the more common conditions that are absolute contraindications. These are all temporary conditions that once they have run their course, you can receive a massage.
The following conditions are a permanent condition that will prevent you from receiving a massage. These are serious conditions and if you receive a massage it can cause further health related problems or even death. Your massage therapist must be informed of these conditions. This is one of the reasons you are required fill out a health history form when you enter a professional massage therapists office.
Some common absolute permanent contraindications (this is not a definitive list): Blood Clots, Cirrhosis of the liver, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Embolism, Hypertension (unless controlled by medication, diet or exercise), Intestinal obstruction, Kidney failure, Lymphangitis, Myocarditis, Pericarditis, Pulmonary Embolism, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Syncope (fainting), and Tuberculosis.
While massage has many benefits certain conditions warrant caution. If you have a condition that has not been listed here, or you are unclear about whether you can receive massage, talk to your massage therapist and you family doctor. They will both be happy to discuss this with you. Remember, if you are turned down for a massage because of a condition you have, it is because the massage therapist has your best health at interest.

Your Favorite Seuss - A Baker's Dozen by the One and Only Dr Seuss
"Your Favorite Seuss: A Baker's Dozen by the One and Only Dr. Seuss" has provided my daughter and I many hours of enjoyment. We have a lot of the single editions of Dr. Seuss tales, but we have read ever story in this larger book numerous times as well. Yes, it is a bit heavy for her to hold, so I hold the book as we read. When she was younger, I read the stories to her, and she enjoyed following along enjoying them immensely. As she got older, she started to read the stories to me and had equally as much fun. She was reading these stories at five years old, and now that she is six, we still read them sometimes. I believe reading these and the other books helped her become a great reader for her age.
In this large hardcover volume, there are thirteen of the most popular Dr. Seuss stories. The stories included in this book are: And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, McElligot's Pool, If I Ran The Zoo, Horton Hears A Who, The Cat In The Hat, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Yertle The Turtle, Happy Birthday To You, Green Eggs And Ham, The Sneetches, Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book, The Lorax, and Oh The Places You'll Go. Besides these thirteen great tales accompanies by the original drawings, there is an introduction by Janet Schulman describing who Dr. Seuss was and essays before each story. These essays and additional information about the famous author are not yet interesting to my daughter, but I enjoyed them.
Besides the fun characters and words found in the stories by Dr. Seuss, there are messages that are as relevant today as when they were written. The Sneetches illustrates the idiocy of thinking one race is superior to another, or in this Case, having a star on your belly or not being the determining factor of who is superior. And one could easily argue that the environmental message found in The Lorax is even more important now than ever before. I'm sort of glad this is one of my daughter's favorites.
The final pages list all of the books Dr. Seuss wrote and the year he wrote them. I didn't realize he wrote forty-three books between 1937 and 1990. Although when I read through the list, I know all the titles. I know many from when I was a kid, and I guess that's why I'm happy to share them with my daughter. I think this is a great book for any Dr. Seuss fan, young or old.
