Massage Is Not Recommended For Certain People
The ancient art of traditional Thai massage is one that has benefited thousands, if not millions of people through the millennia. It can help to center the mind, improve the health of the body and leaves you feeling relaxed and calm. Although many people are able to take advantage of the benefits of Thai massage, there are also those who may wish to avoid the practice because it is not recommended for them.
Although traditional Thai massage may help with a wide variety of health issues, it is not recommended for individuals who have recently had surgery or who have open wounds, skin disease or rash. This is not only because of what it can do to you as an individual, it is also out of consideration for the practitioner as well.
If you are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, it is not typically recommended that you have Thai massage immediately after those therapies take place. You should speak to your doctor if you want to have a massage during those times.
Because of the stretching and pressure that is being applied to acupressure points, this form of massage therapy is also not one that is recommended for individuals who are prone to blood clots. It could cause a blood clot to dislodge, leading to dire consequences. In addition, if you have heart disease, your doctor should be consulted before a Thai massage takes place.
Finally, you should get clearance from your physician if you are pregnant before you have traditional Thai massage. There are massage therapists who are certified to perform pregnancy massage, but it is always a good idea to check in advance of coming in for your session.
