Why do you ask health history questions?

The goal of massage therapy is to promote personal wellness. It is important for the therapist to know the health history in order to get a clear picture of where you are coming from and what your goals are. Also there are certain conditions that require certain changes be made to the massage. Some conditions are contraindicated altogether. Medications also play a role in the amount of work you can do in a certain area as well as the amount of pressure able to be used.
It is important to be honest and upfront about any relevant medical history. It is all for your benefit.
