Radiotherapy can cause skin sensitivity, irritation, and changes in tissue texture in the treated area, making hot stone massage potentially uncomfortable or harmful. The heat from the stones may exacerbate these effects, increasing the risk of burns or further skin damage. Additionally, radiotherapy can weaken the immune system, so avoiding massage in affected areas helps prevent complications. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before resuming any Massage Therapy post-radiotherapy.

Can a stone massage leave bruising?

Any kind of massage, when done improperly, can lead to bruising. If you experienced bruising after receiving a stone massage then you should let the practitioner/therapist know about it and they should be able to give you some advice on how to alleviate the situation. But, if they did a poor job in the first place, I would not trust them for advice. (I am assuming that you are talking about hot stones.)
