- Infectious skin disease, rash, or open wounds.
- Immediately after surgery except for manual lymphatic drainage.
- Immediately after chemotherapy or radiation, unless recommended by your doctor (please call Sharon Noles, for massage specially adapted for these medical conditions).

- If it's your first time at the office, arrive at least 10 minutes early to complete the necessary forms; which can be downloaded from the Client Download Forms Link on the top of the site.
- Otherwise, arrive 5 minutes early so you can have a few minutes to rest and relax before starting the massage.
