Massage and Alcohol
Hi,
I am a trained massage therapist and have recently been asked to do massage on people who drink (long term alcoholics)
I am trying to find research and definite answers on the correct procedure for this.
Thank you
Amy
As a general rule if a person has drunk alcohol then it is a contraindication for massage. I am assuming that the people you will be massaging are giving up alcohol.
I found this article below that explains the effects of alcohol and the effects of massage on the body.
