Circulatory conditions
Circualatory conditions - We can not massage a client when they have circualatory conditions as this could seriously hurt the client as there cardiovascular system and the heart. With massage this then could worsen and make the condition worse. This is obviously a red flag as we do not want to cause any pain towards the client. these problems can then leads to things such as blood pressure and massage raises your blood pressure this is then bad as the could then result in you fainting.
Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis - This is a disease affecting nerves in the brain and spinal cord, causing problems with muscle movement, balance and vision. this then means we cannot massage the client because this could trigger anyone of these at any time. this is a red flag because we cannot massage anywhere on the body.
Illness and fever
Depending on the illness and fever can depend if you get massage if your massuse thinks that you are to ill for a massage they will then refuse to continue with the massage. This is yellow and a red flag as it can be and cant be massaged. When we are ill our bodys white body cells good through our blood and help us repair and make us better. this can be a red flag as if you thumb kneed it can spread throughout the body.
