Understanding contra-indications
Contra-indications are conditions in which massage should not be applied
because it may harm the client. Massage must always be given to bring about
improvement, either of specific conditions, or the general well-being of each client.
Clients should always feel that the treatment is beneficial and helping them to
achieve their desired results. Massage should never be given if there is any risk of
harming the client or making any condition worse. The effects of massage may be
harmful in certain circumstances. The following explanations will help you to
understand why massage should not be carried out if certain conditions are
present. There are dangers associated with the following contra-indications:
1. Cardio-vascular problems
Massage is thought to increase blood flow, which is desirable in many
conditions but can be dangerous in others.
2. Lymphatic drainage
The lymphatic system removes excess fluid from all over the body, returning it
into the bloodstream. Because massage increases lymphatic flow, the rate in which
these toxic substances are carried and spread around the body is increased. Be
particularly aware if the client has swollen or painful lymph glands; do not
massage, and seek medical advice.
6. Allergic reactions
The oil or cream etc. used as the massage medium may cause an allergic
reaction in some clients. This will produce an excessive erythema: the area
becoming very red and hot or a rash may appear. Remove the medium immediately
and wash in warm water.
7. Fragile skin
There is always a danger of breaking down fragile, thin skin, causing open
wounds. Particular care must be taken with diabetics and anyone on steroid
treatments as the skin may be fragile and healing may be slow. Plenty of
lubrication and light pressure only must be used.
8. Infections
It is common sense to avoid touching anything infectious such as athlete‘s foot,
eczema and also to treat someone if they have a contagious disease such as
chicken fox.
9. Inflammation
Deep massage worsens any type of inflammation, whether an inflamed injury,
irritable bowels, or an inflamed arthritic joint. Indications of inflammation include
heat, pain or discomfort, swelling, and redness. Light, gentle stroking, however,
may offer some relief and comfort. Threat undiagnosed inflammation under the
skin (any unusual lump or bump) with caution, it may indicate a cyst that might
burst or, more worryingly, a cancerous growth.
10. Cancer
One school of thought postulates that massage can spread cancer through the
lymphatic system. While this remains unproven and there is much evidence to
dispute the theory, it is a good idea to obtain permission from a doctor before
massaging people with cancer.
