Yes, hernias are generally considered local contraindications to massage. Massaging the area of a hernia can potentially exacerbate the condition, cause discomfort, or lead to complications. It is important for massage therapists to avoid direct pressure on the hernia site and to consult with a healthcare provider for appropriate treatment options. Always prioritize client safety and comfort.
