Contraindications

A list of contraindications is added for the majority of treatments. Some contraindications bring to light certain physical conditions where a selected treatment could represent a health risk. As this is for information purposes only, we recommend you validate this information with a health professional.

So that you may establish a relationship of confidence with your therapist, we recommend you inform such persons of your level of comfort and tolerance during treatments. This is how the therapist can adapt and offer a personalized treatment allowing a more complete moment of relaxation.

Furthermore, it is in your best interest to validate the competence level of your therapist in the framework of starting a therapeutic approach to a specific problem. It may become necessary to obtain medical advice in certain cases.

All information gathered remains strictly confidential.
