About 3% of ER visits and 6% of hospital admissions are from fainting—and massage could play a role you might not expect. 💆‍♀️

One client shared a scary story: after a deep-tissue massage, she got in her car, blacked out, and crashed (luckily, no one was hurt). Was it hypertension, medication, the massage, or the timing? 🤔

Fainting isn’t a disease—it’s a sign your body’s balance is challenged. Massage can influence blood flow, hormones, and nervous system responses, which may tip that balance.
