There are some reasons why it might not be advisable to receive a massage.
Reasons for Contraindication
Acute Injuries: If you have recently suffered an injury, it may be better to first speak with a doctor before receiving a massage. Massages can sometimes delay or worsen the healing of injuries.
Infections and illnesses in the treatment area: Any type of massage is possible as long as there is no infection or illness, including skin infections, in the treatment area. If there is, please speak to our support team beforehand or seek medical advice.
Fever: If you have a fever, it may not be advisable to receive a massage, as this could put additional strain on your body.
Blood Clotting Disorders: If you suffer from a blood clotting disorder, you should not get a massage, as this can increase blood circulation.
Face and head: For a full-body massage, the face and head are not part of the treatment area. A cold sore is therefore no obstacle to a full-body massage.
Pregnancy – What to know before booking
At Soulhouse, we offer one dedicated treatment during pregnancy: the Pregnancy Massage. It is tailored to this special phase, with gentle, adapted techniques.
Important: The Pregnancy Massage is available from the second trimester onwards (from week 13 / SSW 13). During the first trimester – before week 13 – we are unfortunately unable to offer any massage treatments at Soulhouse.
If you have a high-risk pregnancy or specific health concerns, please consult your doctor or midwife before your appointment. For a standard Pregnancy Massage from week 13, no medical note is required. You can book directly online at booking.soulhouse.me once you reach your second trimester.
Couple Massages
Couple massages at Soulhouse allow two people to enjoy a massage simultaneously. Depending on the studio setup, these sessions can take place in a shared couple's room or in separate rooms. Even if an appointment is rescheduled, the massages remain synchronized, offering couples the opportunity to share a relaxing experience together.
