Further to such a medical recommendation, any professional massage therapist will reserve the right to accept or to refuse to lavish a massage according to its competence and to its own professional evaluation.

Since massage can, occasionally, cause of micro muscular wounds during kneadings for example it is counter-indicated to make a massage. Even the lymphatic drainage which is however a light massage, which favors the movement of the lymph, can provoke haemorrhages. An Haemophiliac friend told me, several years ago, that she had received a lymphatic drainage while she was in her period.
The massage therapist she met and who called himself professional, did not complete a health report. Since she did not believe that this disease was a contraindication, she says nothing about it. When she returns home, the menstruations started to be increasingly abundant, to the point where she must have been hospitalized for three days.

A contraindication is when a symptom or condition can cause a negative outcome because of a specific medication, surgery or procedure. There are two types of contraindications, relative and absolute.
Relative contraindications give practitioners caution when either two medications can conflict or a procedure like massage can exacerbate a condition that a client is currently taking medication for or underwent surgery for. They may interfere in some way, but it is not life-threatening. Absolute contraindications are those situations that are life-threatening, like massage in specific parts of the body that just underwent a surgical procedure, must be avoided.
An example of this is when women are pregnant, they can suffer from blood clots in their legs. It is an absolute contraindication for a massage therapist to not massage the legs so that any blood clots are not dislodged and end up in a vital organ. Although massage therapy is safe, it can exacerbate some conditions. A client should always consult a physician before beginning any massage therapy or if the client has any new conditions that could be contraindications for massage.
