When NOT to Do Massage: Legal & Medical Red Flags

Not every client who walks into your massage or chiropractic practice is safe to work on right away.

In this video, Yuri and David from Life RX, also known as the Postural Detectives, break down one of the most dangerous situations therapists face — a client who comes in after a car accident, in pain, without medical clearance, paperwork, or proper disclosure.

Many clients don’t realize that untreated injuries from car accidents can involve the spine, nervous system, ligaments, or internal trauma. If a therapist begins work without asking the right questions, without a signed waiver, or without understanding the client’s medical status, it can put both the client and the therapist at serious risk — including legal consequences and loss of your license or practice.

In this episode, we explain:
 • Why post-accident clients require extra caution
 • What red flags therapists must recognize
 • Why paperwork, waivers, and documentation matter
 • How to protect your practice legally and professionally
 • Why pressure, speed, and technique must be modified
 • When to slow down, refer out, or decline treatment

This is not about fear — it’s about professionalism, ethics, and protecting your career while still helping people safely.

If you’re a massage therapist, manual therapist, bodyworker, or chiropractor, this video is required knowledge in today’s practice environment.
