Do you modify massage for a client with sickle cell anemia?

I am doing an essay to find a contraindication for massage or something that requires modification for massage. I picked sickle cell anemia because I found it was a contraindication and then I looked it up again and it said it wasnt. but I asked a massage therapist and they said that they ask the client for a doctors note saying they can recieve massage therapy. Do you modify the massage treatment for sickle cell anemia or not?

Answer #1

Whenever there is a potential health issue, a good legitimate massage therapist will take the issue into consideration and always modify the massage.
