QuestionHi, is it ok to massage someone who,s had Strep but does,nt anymore and is on anti biotics to keep it away?
I know that its a contraindication but the client has,nt got strep anymore.
AnswerDear Warren,
Even though your client may be feeling better, does not mean that there isn't any lingering bacteria still remaining in the body. The antibiotics are doing their job to destroy whatever remains of the infection.
Massage, at this time, could possibly spread this bacteria, and impede with the healing process. I would say wait until the course of treatment is done before proceeding with massage.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
