I had surgery a couple of months ago. Will it prevent me having a massage?
There are some treatments you might not be able to have, so mention it before you book.
All spas will ask you to fill in a health form, either before you go or when you arrive. Recent surgery may well mean that you have to avoid massage in that area. If you are currently having treatment for a particular condition, it's important that you tell the spa, as some treatments will be unsuitable.
For instance, if you are having radiotherapy, some treatments are contra-indicated. Many spas provide health information on their websites or in their printed literature which will tell you in advance which treatments should be avoided if you have a specific health concern.
If you have an old scar and your condition is stable, there should be no problem. If you feel awkward about having a scar, remember that your therapist will have seen it all before.
