Yes. It depends on the severity.
You should inform your massage therapist so they can adjust the massage to suit your condition. The massage should be gentle and non-circulatory. That means that they should avoid Swedish techniques for the most part. The focus of the session should be to relieve stress and promote relaxation.
Abdominal work, if any, should be very mild due to the possibility of having varices which could rupture and be life-threatening.
Also, if you have been diagnosed with cirrhosis, it would be a good idea to sign a release so that your doctor can communicate with the massage therapist and have them become part of your health care team.
