Contraindications

Contraindications

Contraindications are conditions which may restrict or prevent treatment.


Total contraindications usually restrict treatment. There are some exceptions.


We can often work around local contraindications or offer an alternative therapy. Sometimes its possible to seek advice from a healthcare professional and proceed with the desired holistic therapy.

 

Please take a look and contact me with any questions surrounding any condition you may have. Alternatively we can discuss during the consultation.
