Are there any contraindications for a person getting a massage if they have multiple sclerosis?
No, not at all. Therapeutic neuromuscular massage, performed by a licensed NMT (neuromuscular massage therapist) can be an effective way of helping to maintain muscle tone and normal function and increase circulation. It certainly is not a cure, but it definitely helps. If the person with MS is on one of the injectable therapies, the massage therapist should avoid massaging any area which has received a shot within the last 24 hours. If it is over 24 hours, massage over those areas actually assists in reducing lumps at injection sites which can develop over the years of their use.

What is deep tissue massage vs neuromuscular massage?
What is deep tissue massage?Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.The movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain.How does deep tissue massage work?When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation.Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure.Neuromuscular Massage TherapyThe most effective type of massage therapy for lower back pain is neuromuscular therapy. Neuromuscular therapy is also called trigger point myotherapy. The American Academy of Pain Management recognizes this form of massage therapy as an effective treatment for back pain caused by soft tissue injury (such as a muscle strain). Neuromuscular therapy consists of alternating levels of concentrated pressure on the areas of muscle spasm. The massage therapy pressure is usually applied with the fingers, knuckles, or elbow. Once applied to a muscle spasm, the pressure should not vary for ten to thirty seconds.Muscles that are in spasm will be painful to the touch. The pain is caused by ischemic muscle tissue. Ischemia means the muscle is lacking proper blood flow, usually due to the muscle spasm. This in turn creates the following undesirable process:Because the muscle is not receiving enough blood, the muscle is also not receiving enough oxygenThe lack of oxygen causes the muscle to produce lactic acidThe lactic acid makes the muscle feel sore following physical activity.After the muscle is relaxed through massage therapy, the lactic acid will be released from the muscle, and the muscle should start receiving enough blood and oxygen.Neuromuscular therapy will feel painful at first, but the pressure of the massage should alleviate the muscle spasm. At this point, it is extremely important to communicate with the massage therapist regarding the pressure - whether the pressure is too much, too little, getting better, getting worse. The therapist should listen and respond accordingly. The massage therapy pressure should never be overly painful. In fact, most people describe the pressure as "good pain".What to expect after massage therapyFollowing a neuromuscular therapy massage, any soreness that presents itself should fade after twenty-four to thirty-six hours. The muscles that were tight should remain noticeably more relaxed for four to fourteen days, depending on stress, activity level, and severity of back pain prior to beginning massage therapy.
What are the negative effects of massage?
If done properly and appropriately, there are no negative effects of massage. As long as the touch is safe and the person does not have any conditions that could be aggravated by massage, there should be no problems. The relationship between a massage therapist and a client should contain the elements of trust, compensation for services, and mutual agreement. If massage is performed when any of these elements are breached, then harm may result. The first rule is "Do no harm!"

Can a deep tissue massage cause intestinal upset 2-3 days after the massage?
Probably not. Any intestinal disturbance would have occurred during the treatment session, if it occurred at all. Plus, deep tissue massage should never be performed on the intestines. That is outside the scope of deep tissue massage. However, if you suspect that there could be a problem, check with your massage therapist, a general practitioner, or go to the emergency room of your local hospital.
Why should you not give a massage treatment to a client immediately after a large meal?
You should not massage someone after a meal because their body is using energy and resources to aid in digestion. If you massage them, it will hinder their digestion. You should wait at least an hour, even two, before giving them a massage.
