Why is a supine hypotensive syndrome a contraindication to massage?
It is not a contraindication for massage at all. It is a contraindication for being in a supine, and even a prone, position. If the massage therapist is trained properly, they will know how to do a sidelying position massage that will be safe. Again, it is not the massage that is contraindicated, but the position that most people have on the massage table. Sidelying resolves the issues with supine hypotensive syndrome so there should be no problem for you to receive a massage, just lie on your side, or even better, just on your left side.

The main concern is that it is an acute stage and that usually is considered a contraindication because the body is using most of its resources to combat the infection. Massage would only add to the overload of resources at work and task the body systems even more. It is best to let the acute phase resolve to a sub-acute level, then massage can be beneficial in the healing phase.
