Massage therapy is for the purpose of relief from muscular tension, spasm or pain, and stress reduction. If you experience any pain or discomfort, you must immediately inform the practitioner so that the pressure or method of massage can be adjusted accordingly. Massage professionals do not diagnose illness or disease, perform any spinal manipulations or prescribe medical treatments. Nothing said or done during a treatment session should be construed as such. Massage is not a substitute for medical examination or diagnosis. It is recommended a healthcare provider administer such services. A massage should not be performed under certain conditions, therefore your practitioner must be updated with any changes to your health profile. Failure to disclose this information released the massage therapist from any liability.
