Safety First

As with all forms of massage, there are a few situations where Thai Yoga Massage is not appropriate, or needs special medical clearance.

• If you have just undergone surgery, please wait for your doctor's 'all-clear' before booking a massage.
• If you are suffering from a fever, wait until the fever has past; give your body the time it needs to eliminate these toxins at its own pace.
• If you have an infectious skin condition, you need to avoid all massage, in case the condition is transmitted to others.
• If you have thrombosis, then any form of massage is potentially dangerous to your health.
• If you have a high-risk pregnancy or are still in the first 12-14 weeks of your pregnancy, make especially sure that you receive your doctor's clearance before you have a prenatal Thai Massage
