Identifying and Responding to Inflamed Areas in Body Massage


Question
hi there i am a student and studying body massage could u tell me how to reconise an inflamed area of the body and what action would u take thanks.

Answer
Hi Vicky

Congrats on being part of an amazing career!

OK

The simplest is through observation of three biological actions Swelling, Redness and Heat. Nine times out of ten this is a clear indication to recognize an inflamed area. Also level of sensitivity is much higher than surrounding areas.

The action is simple: Avoid the area and continue with the massage.

It's mostly common sense: When in doubt leave it out of the massage.

Cool huh?  :)

To your success
