[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 45488"] I have a diploma in anatomy, physiology and massage and I think that a full body massage is the best stress buster that I know. The therapist needs a strong back and hands as it is exhausting. There are contra indications and a good therapist would not practise on anyone without a full medical history. They also would not practise on anyone who is under medical supervision without medical consent. Diabetes is not contra indicated but it would still be prudent to ask your G.P. if he is in agreement. Therapists have to be insured and if you decide to go ahead with a massage please ask to see the insurance documents. Contra indications include : - Infections. Open wounds. Pregnant women must not be massaged over the abdomen. Cardio vascular conditions. Varicose veins. Pacemakers. Recent scar tissue. Any area of unexplained pain. Any area of inflamation. High temperature. Cancer sufferers. Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Any area of bruising. Recently healed broken bones. Anyone suffering from Aids or HIV. Because these conditions are contra indicated it does not mean that your G.P. would automatically disapprove but you do need his consent for your sake and the therapist. I myself have several medical issues but my G.P. does not have any objection to my receiving this treatment. I have used this treatment on friends and family and some clients within my work area and they have all said how relaxed they feel for several days afterwards. [/QUOTE]
