As masseurs / alternative therapists, we are not allowed not diagnose or treat injuries that your doctor or other authorized healthcare professional does not recommend. If you have doubts about what your injury is due to, or whether massage can be recommended, always consult your doctor, physiotherapist or another relevant healthcare professional. We recommended that you wait 72 hours from the time an injury has occurred until you receive treatment. In the meantime, you can take advantage of the MCE principle:

C = compression (compressive dressing)
E = Elevation (hold the damaged area high)
