Can massage therapy worsen joint pain in certain conditions?

While massage therapy is generally safe and beneficial, there are certain conditions in which massage may not be suitable or could potentially worsen joint pain. These include acute injuries, fractures, severe inflammation, infectious arthritis, or certain autoimmune conditions. Additionally, if you have a specific joint condition or are undergoing medical treatment, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before receiving a massage. At Tattva Wellness Spa, our experienced therapists conduct a thorough consultation to assess your condition and tailor the massage accordingly, ensuring safety and effectiveness. Communication with the therapist regarding any concerns or medical conditions is essential to provide the most appropriate treatment for your individual needs.
