Contraindications - Bay Area Brain Spa

Contraindications

Neurofeedback considerations

None. Safe for all brains and all ages.  If you are taking medications, you should consult with your doctor as you accumulate sessions with brain training as we’ve seen clients need to adjust dosing as they progress with training.

See note on healing reactions.

  1. Phlebitis/blood clots

  3. Fractures or suspected fractures or other traumatic injuries that are healing
  4. Malignant tumors or currently receiving cancer treatment

  6. Reactive skin disorder such as prickly heat, photoallergic dermatitis, perception disorder
  7. Any major surgeries in the last six months

Migun Therapy is safe to use with all medications. Please be aware; if you take blood thinners, you may see bruising in the areas of massage.
