When Not to Get a Massage

Massage therapy offers relaxation and rejuvenation but isn't always advisable. Avoid it if recovering from a contagious illness, to prevent spreading it and for your own safety. Skin conditions like rashes and sunburns, or uncontrolled inflammation, are also reasons to pause massage sessions. Additionally, avoid massage therapy if dealing with undiagnosed pain or after recent surgery. Consulting healthcare professionals is crucial in these scenarios for your safety and well-being.
