It depends. It may be possible and beneficial to them, but the most important thing would be to get their doctor's clearance. Another important consideration is the type of massage and the focus of it should be gentle and supportive. In other words, set your intention to help them relax and reduce their stress level. That will improve their quality of life and reduce the severity of their symptoms; they will feel better. In general, stress and depression account for about 80% of a person's symptoms. So, massage and go a long way to reduce both the stress and improve their mood so they feel less depressed.
