Contraindications

Blood Clotting Issues (DVT): Do not use if you have any injuries, blood clots, or other medical conditions that could be affected by massage. Compression may dislodge existing clots.
Varicose Veins: Nether massage nor compression therapy can be applied on or below various veins. The increased pressure can release an existing blood clot.

Vascular & Heart Disease: Avoid if you suffer from severe peripheral artery disease, cardiac conditions, or unstable hypertension, as increased blood flow can overtax the heart.

Skin or Wound Issues: Do not use over open lesions, cellulitis, or acute inflammatory skin diseases.

Nerve Damage: Serious peripheral neuropathy or sensory disturbance (often from diabetes) is a contraindication because you might not feel if the pressure is dangerously high.

Tumors: Malignant tumors rule out both massage and the use of active compression therapy.
Pregnancy: Complex prenatal complications like preeclampsia, high blood pressure, or blood clotting disorders require prior medical clearance. If there is a medical complication that has increased your pregnancy to high risk, please obtain medical clearance before scheduling an appointment.

I confirm that I have filled out the screening checklist accurately and have not withheld any medical history.

4. Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability: I recognize that despite careful screening, mechanical compression carries inherent risks, including but not limited to bruising, skin irritation, changes in blood pressure, or the mobilization of undetected circulatory issues.

I release, waive, and forever discharge Danica L Todd from any and all liability, claims, or demands arising out of injury or complications resulting from this mechanical device.
