When it is not appropriate, or safe, to give a massage to someone, is referred to as a contraindication. There are a variety of reasons why a massage should not be given, and this is something that a professional massage therapist is trained to know. Most of the reasons have to do with the first rule 'Do no harm'. And the second reason is to make sure that the therapist does not get harmed either. After that, the most common reasons are conditions that the receiver may have, such as cardiovascular problems, infectious conditions, and chronic conditions, such as advanced stages of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's diseases.
