Best Answer

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.

If you are a professionally licensed massage therapist, it does not matter what the client gives you permission to do. What is important is your ethics and scope of practice. If you know that it is systemically (whole body) contraindicated, even if it is not contagious, you should not give them a massage.
