Health Information

When Massage May Be Postponed

Your practitioner may pause or reschedule a session if you are experiencing:

  • Recent injury or unhealed wounds (postnatal)

Pregnancy‑specific reasons to postpone include:

  • Reduced fetal movements

  • Vaginal bleeding or fluid loss

  • Unexplained cramping

If any of these symptoms arise, you may be encouraged to seek medical review before continuing with massage.
