Quick answer: Massage at Latika Spa is for relaxation and general wellness. It is not medical treatment and does not diagnose or cure any condition. If you have a health condition, injury or allergy, speak to your doctor first and tell your therapist before the session.
Purpose of Our Services
Our Indian, Kerala Ayurvedic, Pakistani, Thai and Russian massages are for relaxation and general wellness. Our therapists are certified massage professionals, not doctors or physiotherapists. Do not delay medical advice because of anything on this website or said at the spa.
Tell Your Therapist First
Before your session, tell your therapist if you have any of the following. They may adjust pressure, avoid an area, ask for your doctor's approval or decline the session.
- An infection, fever or contagious skin condition
- Heart problems, high or low blood pressure
- Blood clots, or you take blood-thinning medication
- Diabetes
- Recent surgery, injury, fracture or bone and joint problems
- A skin condition, open wound or recent sunburn
- Cancer treatment
- Allergies, including to oils
Your safety matters more than finishing a full session.
During and After the Session
- Tell your therapist straight away about pain, dizziness or numbness.
- Ask for lighter or firmer pressure at any time, or end the session.
- Mild soreness or tiredness can follow a firm massage. See a doctor if symptoms are severe or last more than a day or two.
- If oil causes itching, redness or irritation, tell your therapist and the session will stop.
Emergencies
For chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden severe pain or fainting, alert staff immediately and call 998 (ambulance) or 999 (police), or go to the nearest hospital.
