How to choose a suitable massager
|
Massage safetyAlways consult a licensed health care professional prior to using massager Referral sheet to give practitioner For most these massagers will be incredibly safe and provide huge benefits. However, like most health care methods there's always a risk. For example, If you massage deep vein thrombosis (what you can get after a long aeroplane flight) you can kill someone, and I've seen where some over enthusiastic but under trained football trainers have massaged a corked thigh and massively increased the internal bleeding. Also, in many cases muscle tightness and spasm are the bodies attempt to protect something. It's usually a damaged joint, but can be something like an infection or a problem with an internal organ. You don't want to be massaging the muscle tightness and failing to identify the problem causing it. Most consumer massagers provide you a list of conditions and situations where massage should be avoided then let the user make the decision whether to massage or not. However, because some of those things need a professional to diagnose, and because our machines are powerful and have an excellent penetrating effect we insist that you always leave the decision to to massage or not and where to massage to a licensed health care professional. We provide a similar list (see below), but use the list as general information only to assist in discussing things with your professional in an informed manner. It should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advice.
