What types of edema are contraindicated for massage?
The only types of edema that are contraindicated for massage are the undiagnosed, potentially pathogenic varieties. The best thing to do is ask your massage therapist or doctor.
Why massage is contraindicated during pitting edema?
Massage is not contraindicated at all. But all types of massage are contraindicated exclusively to manual lymph drainage. General massage should never be performed on pitting edema, but the only exception is specifically indicated massage that effects the lymphatic fluid. ANd there is basically only one type of massage that is considered safe in that situation, and that is manual lymph drainage (MLD). The most well known of these is the Vodder system. So, my advice to you is to find a Vodder MLF specialist that is in your area. You can always check out the AMTA for a list of massage therapists in your area and then find one that can do MLF.
