Massage and Sickness

Have you ever wondered if you can get a massage while you are sick? Getting a massage while being sick is not a great idea. Your body is already working hard to fight off your infection. Here are some good reasons why you should wait until your sickness has passed before getting a massage.

• Contagious! It is important being aware of your sickness and not passing it on to your therapist. When you feel sick, it is best to stay home and rest.

• Exhaustion! Your body is fighting, and when it fights best when you are resting. You may think that getting a massage will make you relax, but it is quite the opposite. The body works harder to respond to the stimulation caused by massage.

• Body's Circulation! Massage stimulates the muscles and tissues and causes the body to increase circulation. When sick, this can cause you to become more congested and feeling of "hard to breathe."
