You really might want to insist that she provide you with a note from her doctor that states it is medically appropriate for you to work on her. This gives the physician a chance to advise the patient of any concerns or contraindications there would be regarding massage (and let’s them know that she’s going to you) and helps cover you from a liability standpoint. As for the Oxycontin, I cannot think of any special precautions to take as to timing the massage. Obviously, your client should be coherent and not appear “drugged” before the massage but that should be it. If there’s ever a doubt, ask for medical clearance from their doctor- as much as I get annoyed by the constant onslaught of forms, I’d rather know what treatments my patients are getting so I can decide if it’s safe for them. In general, I strongly favor therapeutic massage as an adjunct to chronic pain management. Congratulations on your degree.
