Massage Pathology Chronicles

I agree with this blog that this massage therapist believes that most cases of respiratory disease and/or disorder would be a contraindication for massage.  I have never experienced a client who has had any respiratory disease but if I did I would be sure to confirm that my client does in fact have his physicians approval for massage.  I would also ask my client if any particular aspect of a massage would cause discomfort and if necessary I would adjust my massage.  I also believe that tapotement is a very good help for broncial disorders.

Title: Respiration Diseases and Disorders

It seems most cases with respiratory diseases and disorders show massage to be a contraindication. Therapist should become aware of clients with these types of disorders and think about treating client with different posture techniques. Must be physician approved. Tapotement is effective for bronchial disorders.
