If a massage therapist has a client that they've worked on several times, and tried different modalities without obtaining results, the best thing for them to do is to refer them to another professional; either another massage therapist or someone else working in allied health.

When should you not give a massage?

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.


What common questions should you ask a massage therapist about fibromyalgia?

Before you see any massage therapist you should ask them if they are familiar with Fibromyalgia and how it impacts the body. They should be aware of the general tender points and trigger points. If you do not feel comfortable with their level of knowledge, you should seek a different therapist. You should ask your massage therapist what type of massage they feel will best benefit you, and how often you should return for best results. It is just as important to make them aware of how Fibromyalgia impacts you personally, since each patient is affected differently. Be sure to point out to them areas that are currently bothering you or that you prefer they avoid. It is also important that they are aware of any medications that you are on. It is important to keep an open dialogue during your massage. You should speak up if lying in a specific position is causing pain, or if they are applying too much pressure. Remember, a massage should not increase your pain. Also, remember to drink lots of water after a massage. Often, massage will allow the release of toxins, and increase lymphatic drainage, drinking water will help cleanse your tissues and provide a better result.
