Important Considerations for Massage Therapy
​
While massage therapy offers numerous benefits, it's essential to be mindful of certain health conditions that may warrant caution or avoidance. If you have any of the following conditions, please consult with your healthcare provider or the massage therapist to ensure your safety and well-being:
Contagious Diseases: If you are currently contagious due to an infectious illness, it's advisable to avoid massage therapy until you are no longer contagious. This helps prevent the potential spread of the disease.
Untreated Heart Disease or High Blood Pressure: If you have untreated heart disease or uncontrolled high blood pressure, consult your healthcare provider to determine if massage therapy is safe and if any precautions are necessary.
Phlebitis, Deep Vein Thrombosis, or Embolism: These conditions involve blood clot formation and circulation issues. Massage therapy may pose risks, so it's crucial to consult your healthcare provider.
Bruises, Varicose Veins, or Broken Bones: Massaging directly over these conditions can cause discomfort or potential harm. A qualified massage therapist can adjust the session accordingly or recommend alternatives.
Some Skin Conditions: Certain skin conditions, such as open wounds, severe burns, or contagious skin infections, may require temporary avoidance of massage therapy.
Blood Clots: If you have a history of blood clots, it's essential to discuss your condition with your healthcare provider and the massage therapist.

About Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle and specialized form of massage designed to facilitate the movement of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. The lymphatic system plays a vital role in carrying white blood cells, waste, toxins, and maintaining hydration. Unlike the circulatory system with a central pump (the heart), the lymphatic system relies on body movement for fluid circulation. When the lymphatic fluid becomes stagnant, it can lead to various symptoms, including swelling, fatigue, and mental fog.
​
Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Massage:
​

About Therapeutic Cupping
Therapeutic cupping is a massage technique that harnesses the power of suction to increase blood flow to specific areas of the body. Instead of traditional massage techniques that involve pressing and kneading, cups are used to gently pull the layers of tissue apart, facilitating the natural rush of blood into the targeted region.
