What precautions should be taken when massaging a client with a history of seizures?

When massaging a client with a history of seizures, it is crucial to avoid known triggers and prepare for an emergency. This approach demonstrates an understanding of the client's medical history and acknowledges the potential for seizures to occur during the session. By being aware of triggers, such as specific environmental factors or sensory stimuli, the massage therapist can create a safer and more comfortable atmosphere for the client. Additionally, having an emergency plan in place ensures that the therapist is prepared to respond effectively if a seizure does occur, prioritizing the client's safety and well-being.

Recognizing the importance of these precautions is vital in promoting trust and confidence in the therapeutic relationship and ensuring a positive experience for the client.
