Hi,
I've had a client just enquire about having a 1 hour holistic massage. I asked him if there were any medical conditions I need to be aware of and he told me he had hip replacement surgery 10 weeks ago. I asked if he had asked his doctor he said no. He says he is in good condition. I asked him if he would get permission in writing from his doctor and he said he didn't think it would cause this much trouble. (Possibly because it could cost him too.)
Do I go ahead with the massage (it's light pressure) or do I insist on getting written permission from his doctor?
(He wants the massage this Wednesday.) I am insured and do a signed consultation form but I still want to be safe.
Many thanks in advance,
Kate
As long as there is no post-op infection, and you work gently over the surgical site - can't see a problem, myself.
Wonderful. Have done some research that supports your answer. Thank you for your time!
