If you have any symptoms of illness within 72 hours of your upcoming massage appointment, you will want to notify your therapist and reschedule.

If your illness is contagious, it is not only poor manners to risk infecting others but is also harmful to public health.

If your illness is not contagious, it is still risky to get massage work done when ill because it can interfere with your body's immune system and it's actions of fighting off the bad guys.

For long-term or chronic conditions, it is best to ask your therapist for their advice and recommendations.
