Avatar n tn As I am a massage therapist. Most massage therapist will not massage you during first trimester because if something goes wrong with baby you might feel it's there fault and Sue them. But I give massage in first trimester I walk then through it. Also some massage therapist might ask for dr note.

Avatar f tn Yes! I worked at a massage place but the massage therapist has to, has to know how to do prenatal massage. It's very important!
2065676 tn?1331422440 I also am a Massage Therapist, Bodyworker and have recieved Massage all through my treatment. No Problem. I have seen a handful of clients who were going through treatment and they loved getting their massages. Actually, it was the first person I saw going through treatment that made me think I should get tested for Hep C. So I did. Low and behold....God works in mysteries ways... Get your massage...PS, I get Deep work done on me because that is what works for me.
Avatar n tn I am HIV + and was getting a planned non-sexual massage. During the massage I had some pre-cum leak out even though I was not aroused/erect. The pre-cum got on the massage therapist hands which I didn't realize at the time. After the massage I had told the massage therapist that I was HIV + and they were upset telling me they got precum on their hands. They had washed their hands after the massage. I told them I didn't believe there was any risk to them.
Avatar f tn Prenatal massage is kind of a specialty massage because of all the care required so I think you would have to go to a massage therapist who knows specifically how to perform prenatal massages and has the appropriate equipment. Can you ask your insurance people if they know anyone who can provide a massage for you?
Avatar n tn Do yourself a favor and see a legitimate massage therapist if you actually want a MASSAGE.
Avatar f tn I'm a part time massage therapist. I do them often but not since I've been pregnant. I will not do them on anyone who is less than 35 weeks. Only being that during a massage of any kind there are trigger point or pressure points t that can start labor. Also if someone has hbp I won't. But other than that they are very enjoyable if done right.
Avatar n tn I have scoliosis and I had massage today. Therapist pushed my spine too hard and I felt strong pain. This was the place that caused pain to me before, but now I feel like it was crushed and pain is terrible. I'm afraid that this massage damaged my spine that I was trying to heal for so long. Did anyone hear about smiliar case? Should I do xray or magnetic resonance to determine the damage, or go directly to hospital?
Avatar f tn Im a massage therapist and the only type of massage u should get is a prenatal massage and tht can be somewhat dangerous if the therapists doesn't do it right
424861 tn?1203455151 I am a massage therapist, actually I am just graduating this year, it has been a rough year because I also have fibro, my teachers did not really understand the disease until having me as a student and we were able to find immeasurable amounts of info on the benefits of massage for fibromyalgia patients.
Avatar f tn I used to be a massage therapist with an dvanced certification in prenatal and yes they can be so great for your pregnant body!
Avatar f tn I am a virgin and went to a registered life coach who was a massage therapist as well. I was naked and after a body massage with aroma oil, the therapist massaged only my scrotum,penis (there was no anal contact) with aroma oil slicked hands. Inevitably I did climax and ejaculated on my chest and the therapist hands.

6867745 tn?1398948987 Yes do it the massage therapist should know where to avoid and how much yuhr body could take which is actually all up to you I go to massage school so I had one atleast once a week and I loooved it my body was always in needof it 39 weeks now and now everyone is doing acupressure on me to help get this baby out !
1759188 tn?1324678308 Massage did great for me. I was having a real bad time with neck pain for months and my occupational therapist referred me to a masseuse that works with one of the local doctor's offices here, so it was even covered by my insurance.
Avatar f tn I am a seasoned massage therapist. I would suggest getting at least a 30 minute massage, specifically one who knows myofascial release. Make sure the therapist you find is an LMT and has at least at couple years under their belt. Many chiropractic offices and physical therapists employ or refer out to a massage therapist they trust. You might also try adding a magnesium suppliment to your daily vitamins. This will help with muscle injuries and cramps that are common throughout your pregnancy.
Avatar f tn If you tell the massage therapist, they will know what to do. Some have a table where there is a whole, some have you lay on your side, it just depends on where you go, but they will know!
Avatar f tn Three months ago i went for a massage. Never had anal sex but the massage therapist fingered my anal very rigorously. Now after three months im having diarrhea for like three days plus sneezing and blocked nose. Whenever i go for massage i usually have my anal fingered. Plz tell me is anal fingering a risk for hiv if the massage therapist have bleeding finger or genital fluids on it.
Avatar n tn A physical therapist should be able to treat this, after receiving an “order” from your doctor. My massage therapist has taken many classes in massage, anatomy, muscles, etc and is more knowledgeable about my pain issues than any doctor or physical therapist I’ve seen - and I’ve seen MANY. She is continually learning more about her profession. I am truly blessed to have found her. The only drawback: unfortunately, insurance doesn’t cover massage therapy.
Avatar f tn I'm a massage therapist. You can go onto labor with reflexology of the feet, hand and even during some massages where pressure points are used. Let the therapist know your pregnant AMD how far along you are. And please, make sure they are trained in prenatal massage. So many say they are and don't have a clue. Ease of mind ask for license and if possible, educational background. Massage dulas are awesome if you want one in the delivery room. Little costly but wonderful.
8793709 tn?1409594060 Yes its safe as long as u see a certified massage therapist who speacializes in PRENATAL MASSAGE. That is very important to let then know u need prenatal massage. They will know and be professionally trained to avoid trouble areas. I work at a massage therapy spa who offers prenatal and i am now pregant myself. I havent gotten a massage yet, but i will!
Avatar f tn I (male) had risk with a massage therapist 45 days ago. I took PEP 4 hrs after the risk and finished the 28-day course. Today (day 45 of exposure), I brought him to get blood test. The results HIV 4th gen. Ab/Ag Alere Combo-, Anti-TP Syphilis -, HBV HBsAg Alere - and Anti-HCV Bioline -. 1. Do these test results cover the date that I had risk with him? 2. Do I need to worry about HIV and other STDs? 3. Am I 100% free from HIV?
