Hayfever.. contraindication or not?

[Forlorn Hope]

Hi,

I'm busy with my case studies for reflexology (studying ITEC) and have one guinea pig that is prone to Hayfever. I've now drawn a blank with this.. could anyone please advise whether hayfever is a contraindication and whether it would be categorised as Total (I'm pretty sure it's not that), Partial (ie requires medical/specialist permission), or would this fall under a local contraindication?

I've gone through all my books including my Louise Tuckers coursebookand am now totally confused Would appreciate your input on this.

Thanks all,
Kathy

Hi Kathy,

Can't think of a single reason why Hayfever would be contra-indicated in anyway, shape or form !!!?? Sounds like a great case study to me and i'm sure you'll do her some good !!!

Not a contra in my book. In fact I had a client a couple of years ago who was left free of hayfever after we did just 3 treatments. Having been someone who had to have injections, such were the severity of his symptoms, he was pretty pleased and so was I!

it is an allergy and a sort of contra indication but not one that would stop treatment unless the client was having a facial massage and they were streaming

Hi Kathy, I am also doing my case studies for AOR and using my son who is 12 and has hayfever. I have worked on him about 4 times and he loves it, I usually do about 10 minutes on each foot (much to his disappointment - he wants a FULL session)and just work on top half of foot. If you lookat CASE STUDY - HAYFEVER 27th May you will see the interesting replies I got re my post.

good luck

Hi,

Thank you all for your replies I appreciate it. It's good to hear it isn't contra-indicated.. phew! for a minute while doing the case study write up I started "panicking" whether it was and should I have got a doctor's letter.. lol I've got my exams in a month and I think my brain is working overtime/getting overloaded with things!

Thanks again )
