Acrosage technique is a fascinating form of massage therapy that uses a blend of two completely different arts for the sole purpose of healing and relaxation. Therapists practicing this technique use various acrobatic stunts on the patient during the process of the therapy. Each of these stunts which are done on transitions gives specific effects on the client’s body.

There are many benefits and great physical and mental effects acquired after sessions of acrosage therapy. Some of these are relief from stress both mentally and physically, improvement in mood, good blood and oxygen circulation, optimum mobility and flexibility of the various parts of the body, a boost in the immunity and many more. However, aside from these benefits, risks and contradictions are just waiting for a slight mishap during the massage session.

Due to the dangerous act during the therapy session, it is very clear that a wrong move from both the therapist and the patient can result to accidents such as injury on the two. Any miscalculation during transition of postures can be quite disastrous especially with the fact that the client is suspended upside down, limiting his or her ability to anticipate any fall. Aside from falling out of balance, any wrong turn or twist of any body part can also end up in injuries. Wrong positioning and pressing on the femoral artery can also result to rushes of blood to the head.

Patients with eye problems such as detached retina are prohibited and should never try out this type of massage therapy. Clients with glaucoma are also on the no-no list for the invertion therapy. Regardless of the degree on the patient’s eye condition, experiencing the benefits and effects of acrosage should never be tried by the client. Acrosage practitioners should be vigilant enough in screening their patients prior to any scheduling for massage sessions. In case a patient with eye condition undergoes through this massage therapy session, the increased pressure behind the eye are expected risks.

Aside from eye conditions among the patients, vertigo, high blood pressure, angina, and other circulation conditions should never be allowed or should never attempt to try acrosage therapy. The upside down position of the patient may trigger dizziness, discomfort and difficulty in breathing.

Even patients who have passed the medical condition requirement for acrosage massage stress out the unusual experience of being balanced upside down in different positions that your body is not accustomed to. Some may feel dizzy while others can have upset stomach.

Consulting a doctor should be the first thing to do when trying out any new medical care that you are interested with. Not only will it prevent any accidents and problems from happening, it will also give you information on its benefits, risks and contradictions.

A good thing to do in order to avoid or prevent injuries from happening is by seeking only profession services from licensed, skilled, and well trained massage therapists. These individuals are capable of successfully performing various acrosage postures without you worrying about accidents.
