Epilepsy is a condition characterized by frequent and unpredictable seizures. For bodyworkers, massaging someone suffering from epilepsy can be challenging, but can also be very therapeutic in helping them manage their condition. It is important for massage therapists to learn about epilepsy so that they are well prepared when presented with this type of client. Knowing the symptoms of an oncoming seizure and the side effects of any prescribed medications is vitally important, as they may be indicative of possible massage contraindications.
