All types----A massage therapist gets all kinds and types of people,conditions and bodies but Jessica Alba has yet to come through the door. Yesterday I massaged a middle aged man,late fifties early sixties,and grossly over weight. Heavy people are always a challenge to handle on a table for probably obvious reasons but that wasn't the major problem. Moles.lots of em.Bunches. Clusters. Dozens.All over his back, shoulders and sides. Thick and raised with some alarming looking brown/black/red colors all in one. I had to remove my wedding band to prevent snagging them. Whew! A virtual forest of moles, skin tags and bumps. I think I gave him an okay massage but I won't soon forget his condition. He mentioned he went to doctors often for his various health problems so I assumed he was aware of the mole city behind him so I didn't say anything but maybe I should have. Next time I see Mole Man I will most assuredly broach the subject with him.
There are certain conditions where massage of any type is contraindicated. This comes awfully close to one of those times.
