It is not in your best interest to receive a massage when you are feeling ill. Massage is intended to circulate your lymph and blood and can over stimulate your immune system in an attempt to detoxify and make you feel worse. Being face down on a massage table while you’re sick can be extremely uncomfortable (aggravating a runny or congested nose, etc). Not to mention that a cold can easily be passed to your therapist or other clients.
Please avoid receiving a massage when exhibiting cold or flu symptoms, or currently has an infection, for the health and wellness of the massage therapist and other clients. If you have a cold, fever, the flu, infection or feel as though one is coming on, please re-schedule your treatment. (Please note that the cancellation policy is in effect for all late cancellations.)
Wait until you have been well for a week before getting your treatment. This is for your well being as well as to prevent passing your illness on to your therapist and other clients.
In return, your therapist will not work on you if feeling ill. She wouldn’t want to pass anything along to you either.
If you do need to re-schedule your appointment, please call as soon as possible and re-schedule you when you are feeling better.
