Contraindications for Self-Lymphatic Activation
Contraindications include:
- serious circulatory problems (i.e., blood clots and obstructions in the veins)
- acute infections
- high fevers
- major cardiac problems (i.e., acute angina pectoris and recent heart attack)
- active bleeding
- absence of urination
Self-Lymphatic Activation is very gentle but it has a powerful effect on the fluid systems of the body. A general rule of thumb in lymphatic work is that if the patient can climb up a flight of steps without becoming winded, they can handle a gentle lymph activation session or self-lymphatic activation. If you have any health concerns consult with your health care practitioner before making any lifestyle changes or activating your lymphatic system.
Do not use self-lymphatic activation if you have any of the above health problems.
