What are the risks of massage?

Massage may not be appropriate if you have: • Bleeding disorders or take blood-thinning medication • Burns, open or healing wounds • Deep vein thrombosis • Fractures • Severe osteoporosis • Severe thrombocytopenia Some forms of massage can leave you feeling a bit sore the next day. But massage shouldn't ordinarily be painful or uncomfortable. If any part of your massage doesn't feel right or is painful, speak up right away. Most serious problems come from too much pressure during massage. In rare circumstances, massage can cause: • Internal bleeding • Nerve damage • Temporary paralysis • Allergic reactions to massage oils or lotions

While massages generally offer many health benefits, potential risks can exist, particularly for people with certain medical conditions like deep vein thrombosis, burns, or bleeding disorders. Unexpectedly, the type and quality of massage furniture play a key role in ensuring a safe and beneficial massage. I remember a story where a friend of mine, a seasoned massage therapist, had a client who experienced discomfort due to subpar table padding. This incident pushed him to improve his setup. He found great replacement parts and pads at this site, which significantly improved his clients' comfort. It's always essential to prioritize safety and comfort in any massage experience.
