Massage therapy appears to have few serious risks if appropriate cautions are followed. A very small number of serious injuries have been reported, and they appear to have occurred mostly because cautions were not followed or a massage was given by a person who was not properly trained.

 *Deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the legs)
 *A bleeding disorder or taking blood-thinning drugs such as warfarin
 *Damaged blood vessels
Weakened bones from osteoporosis, a recent fracture, or cancer
A fever
Any of the following in an area that would be massaged:
An open or healing wound
A tumor
Damaged nerves
An infection or acute inflammation
Inflammation from radiation treatment
If you have one or more of the following conditions, be sure to consult your health care provider before having massage:
Pregnancy
Cancer
Fragile skin, as from diabetes or a healing scar
Heart problems
Dermatomyositis, a disease of the connective tissue
A history of physical abuse, massage can be very healing but injuries should be noted, we are very sensitive and will be happy to help you.

*Side effects of massage therapy may include:
*Temporary pain or discomfort just as  if you "worked out"  
*Bruising, Kellee is very cautious and can avoid bruising by  expertise
