Massage Pathology Chronicles

Being aware of different types of skin conditions is very important. A massage may be contraindicated if the client has a contagious skin condition. However, there are some conditions, like a cold sore, or a bruise, where you need to just avoid the area. Being fully aware of the clients body is incredibly important. If it is a regular client, you may notice the change in size of a mole, and could possibly save their life. Learning which things can be contagious, or just important things to inform your client of about their body that they might know can help you as the therapist stay safe, and keep the client aware of their own body.
