Contraindications – important to know

A massage or energetic treatment is intended to give you relaxation and rest. However, there are situations where it is better to (temporarily) refrain from a treatment, or only receive one after consulting your physician. This way, we ensure a safe and pleasant experience together.

​

Each treatment on this website lists specific contraindications relevant to that treatment. This page provides an overview of the general contraindications and explains what they mean.

 

The list below has been carefully compiled but cannot cover every personal situation or medical condition. Do you use medication – for example, blood thinners or medicines with a yellow warning label – or are you unsure whether a treatment is suitable for you? Always consult your physician before booking an appointment.

​

General contraindications (for all treatments)

In the following situations, treatments will not be carried out:

• Fever or infectious diseases (such as flu or throat infection)

• Contagious skin conditions (e.g., boils, cold sores)

• Severe or acute inflammations, wounds, fractures, or injuries

​

Specific considerations for massage

Massage is not always suitable in certain conditions. Sometimes the treatment can be adjusted, or prior consultation with your physician is necessary.

• Cancer, thrombosis, or serious cardiovascular diseases (always in consultation with your physician)

• Diabetes, high or low blood pressure (only in consultation with your physician)

• Varicose veins, bruises, injuries, or fungal infections – these areas will be avoided
