Problems with massages:

Massages are proved as a healthy activity, but only when it is applied by a massage therapist who is trained and skilled. Many people prefer visiting massage centers without knowing their skill and qualification, and often suffer from many issues. It is really important to share health condition with a massage therapist and ask them what kind of massage will suit them. There are several conditions where massages cannot suit and can cause more damage than good, such as:

• When you are suffering from blood disorders or taking blood- thinning medications.
• When you are suffering from burns, cuts or healing wounds.
• During deep vein thrombosis, massages should be avoided.
• When you have fractures, it is advised to not use massages.
• Severe osteoporosis because kneading can damage the delicate bones.

During pregnancy, it is really important to discuss with your doctor, whether you should or not opt for massages. Also, if you are a cancer patient, do not visit massage centers without discussing with your doctor. There are some conditions, where you will feel sore the next day, it is because of powerful strokes, but remember soreness would last for few hours and leave your body in the healthy state. However, there are some rare medical conditions when massages should be discontinued immediately, such as:

• If there is internal bleeding.
• Never damage or temporary paralysis occurred.
• The Body reacted to massage oils or lotions.

Massages are always considered healthy and have no health issue, but only when they are applied correctly – remember that not everyone can apply a good massage, so beware from seasonal therapists.
