Contraindication

A circumstance that requires cancelling treatment, changing its scope or seeking advice first.

Contraindications protect rather than judge

Health questions are not an assessment of the person.

They help decide whether a session can proceed responsibly.

Sometimes only the date needs to change

An active infection or recent procedure does not always mean giving up permanently.

Treatment may return after enough time and confirmation of safety.

A contraindication may be temporary

An infection or recent procedure often means postponing rather than giving up treatment permanently.

The return date should follow healing and advice from the professional responsible for care.
