Best Answer

Massage Therapy and bodywork have a substantial effect on the body systems, so its important for your therapist to know about any conditions, like cardiovascular disease, recent injuries, or Diabetes, etc. so your medical history allows them to discuss any possible contraindications for you. And that way they can give you the safest treatment that has the fewest risks and the greatest benefits.
