Massage is generally a safe treatment, however there are some health factors which can be detrimentally affected by massage. Depending on the condition, massage may not be possible, or may only be possible with a GP Medical referral. If you are already undergoing treatment from a Doctor or another complementary therapist, it would be advisable to seek their advice if you wish to proceed.
Please see below for further details, and don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss further. Your consultation will go through a medical history and any concerns you may have, to make sure you will get the most out of your treatment and feel real results.
