Name some local and general contraindications for myofascial massage
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Some local contraindications for myofascial massage in a particular part of the body include places where the tissue may be compromised. Examples would include rashes, bruises, infections, fracture, or edema due to trauma. Some diseases will also prohibit myofascial massage in an area where there is a flare-up. For example, joint diseases like arthritis with inflammation and gout are contraindications. Some general contraindications include cellulitis, fever, systemic infection, lymphedema, advanced osteoporosis, and advanced diabetes. Finally, check with clients to find out if they are taking medications that either decrease sensitivity to pain or reduce the ability of blood to clot as these, too, would be contraindications.
