Contraindications

Please review this entire list for any medical conditions or circumstances that apply to you.

If you have any conditions listed in the "Total" column, I’m sorry, but I cannot provide massage in those cases. Additionally, if any conditions are listed in the "Medical Permission" column, you will need to obtain permission from your doctor before I can safely offer massage. For those conditions in the "Local" column, I can proceed with the massage, but will avoid the specific problem area.
