Is A Massage Good For People That Have Heart Disease?

If the person was suffering from congestive heart failure, I’d stay away from massage, or at least proceed with caution, esp. if there is edema in ankles, feet legs. Pushing all that fluid around at once may be too much for the heart to handle.
It’s doable with the right therapist, but caution is key.

  3. Hi Isabel, massage is a way of relaxing and everyone can do it even if he/she has heart disease. what you know is that you heart disease appears when someone is stressed. so having good time is something very cool for people who suffer from heart disease. When you are stressed your heart beat increases so a massage will be the most welcome!
