YMYL · SEO GLOSSARY
Massage Contra-Indications SEO
YMYL content standards for massage therapy — accurate contra-indication information, absolute vs relative contra-indications, scope-of-practice boundaries, and safety content requirements on treatment landing pages.
Definition
Massage contra-indications content standards: (1) **Contra-indication types**: absolute (never appropriate — acute DVT, open wounds, skin infections, fever, acute fractures) vs relative (with modification or medical clearance — pregnancy, cancer treatment, recent surgery, anticoagulant medication); must distinguish clearly; (2) **YMYL classification**: incorrect contra-indication content can cause client harm (massage over DVT risks pulmonary embolism) — quality rater YMYL assessment applies; (3) **Named authorship**: contra-indication content attributed to the named, CNHC-registered therapist — anonymous safety information fails YMYL; (4) **Scope of practice**: massage therapists treat healthy bodies — not medical conditions; clear scope avoids YMYL overreach; (5) **GP clearance language**: "we recommend consulting your GP or healthcare provider before booking if you have [condition]" is appropriate scope language; (6) **Sports massage**: athletic contra-indications (acute muscle tears, stress fractures) differ from general massage.
Why it matters for SEO
Massage contra-indication content affects client safety. Incorrect safety information is a YMYL failure. Named, CNHC-attributed authorship is required for YMYL health safety content.
