It’s common to feel some mild soreness after a deep tissue or sports massage, especially if it was your first session or if the pressure was intense. This is a normal response as your muscles adjust and recover. Drinking plenty of water and gentle stretching can help alleviate any discomfort.

• Massage therapy is generally safe for individuals of all ages, but there are specific guidelines to ensure safety and comfort:
  • Infants and Young Children: Massage for infants and young children can offer benefits such as improved sleep, digestion, and relaxation. However, it should only be performed by therapists trained in pediatric massage or by parents following appropriate guidance. For children under 12, massage should be performed by a qualified pediatric massage therapist or under the guidance of a healthcare provider. We do not offer Infant and Young Children massages at Krysus.
  • Adolescents: Adolescents aged 12 and older can benefit from regular massage therapy, particularly for stress relief, sports recovery, and relaxation. Sessions should be adapted to their comfort level and developmental needs. We require a parent or guardian to be present or provide written consent for clients under the age of 18. The parent or guardian may choose to stay in the room during the session if preferred.
  • Adults: Adults can freely benefit from all types of massage therapy offered at our facility, including deep tissue, sports, and relaxation massages. No specific age-related restrictions apply to adults unless advised by a healthcare provider due to medical conditions.

• While massage therapy offers numerous benefits, there are certain conditions and circumstances where it might not be suitable. If you have any of the following conditions, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider before receiving a massage:
• Severe Skin Conditions:
  • Individuals with contagious skin conditions, open wounds, burns, or severe dermatitis should avoid massage therapy until the skin is healed. Massage can irritate the skin further or spread infections.
  • Wait until your skin is fully healed and consult with a dermatologist if you have severe skin conditions before starting massage therapy.
• Acute Injury or Trauma:
  • People with recent fractures, severe bruising, or acute muscle or joint injuries should avoid massage therapy until the injury has stabilized. Massage may worsen the injury or delay healing.
  • Allow adequate time for healing and consult with your healthcare provider before considering massage therapy for acute injuries.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT):
  • Individuals with a history of deep vein thrombosis or blood clots should avoid massage therapy on the affected areas. Massage can dislodge clots and potentially lead to serious complications.
  • Seek medical advice to manage your condition and avoid massage therapy if you have DVT.
• Severe Osteoporosis:
  • Those with severe osteoporosis should avoid deep or vigorous massage techniques, as they can cause fractures or damage fragile bones.
  • Opt for gentle massage techniques and consult with a healthcare provider to ensure safety if you have severe osteoporosis.
• Uncontrolled Hypertension:
  • People with uncontrolled high blood pressure should avoid certain types of massage that might elevate blood pressure further. The increased circulation can pose risks for those with hypertension.
  • Work with your healthcare provider to manage blood pressure and determine the safest approach to massage therapy.
• Cancer:
  • Individuals undergoing active cancer treatment or with certain types of cancer should avoid massage on or near tumor sites. Special considerations are required to avoid stimulating cancerous tissues.
  • Consult with your oncologist for advice on safe massage practices if you have cancer or are undergoing treatment.
• Fever or Infectious Diseases:
  • Individuals with fever, influenza, or any contagious infections should avoid massage therapy until fully recovered. Massage can spread infections and exacerbate symptoms.
  • Wait until you are symptom-free and seek medical clearance before scheduling a massage.
• Recent Surgery:
  • People who have had recent surgery should avoid massage on or near the surgical area until it is fully healed. Massage can disrupt the healing process or cause complications.
  • Follow your surgeon’s guidelines on when it is safe to resume massage therapy after surgery.
• Neurological Conditions:
  • Individuals with certain neurological conditions such as epilepsy, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), or severe neuropathy should consult with a healthcare provider before receiving a massage. These conditions may require specialized approaches or may be contraindicated.
  • Discuss with your neurologist or healthcare provider to ensure safe and appropriate massage techniques for your condition.
• Varicose Veins:
  • Those with severe varicose veins should avoid deep massage directly over the veins to prevent further damage or discomfort.
  • Those with severe varicose veins should avoid deep massage directly over the veins to prevent further damage or discomfort.
