Question:
Hello everyone, just signed up, based in deepest Snowdonia.
I'm in the final few weeks of my Indian Head Massage course and wondered if anyone has ever had a client suffer a nose bleed an hour or so after treatment? The client doesn't normally getnose bleeds but does suffer from sinus congestion. Could the release of mucus have triggered a nose bleed or is it just a coincidence? Can't find anything in notes or books and can't ask my tutor as we've finished for Christmas.
Thanks
Welcome to the forum from somebody in the heart of Scotland. I am also in the last stretch of IHM course but unfortuately( for you not my clients!)have not experienced this - I can also not recall this ever having been discussed in any of our classes. My last class for the year was last night so no help from there!I will keep my eyes on your mail with the hope that somebody can come and enlighten us both.
Regards,
Jo
Thanks Jobelle....tried doing a google search for any info on it but nothing came up, so hopefully it's an isolated incident...I'll raise the matter with my tutor in the New Year and let you know what she says.
Thanks for the welcome, it's great to find so many warm, caring people in one place.

Hello Ade
I haven't heard of this happening with IHM. When a client reports something that's happened to them in the time following a treatment I know you can start to wonder if it had anything to do with you. You may never know. Can I ask, had the person had a cold recently? It isn't uncommon to get a nosebleed after having a cold, and in cold weather also perhaps we are more susceptible to them. Anyway, I hope you don't worry too much about it, and as you say checking up with your tutor when you go back to college should help to put your mind at rest. Enjoy the rest of your course, both of you!
Happy New Year to everyone on HP!
Asked my tutor about IHM and nose bleeds and she'd never heard ofthe massage itself causing a nose bleed but that the mucous being released from congested sinuses (which my client had) could possibly causesome bleeding from the nose. She alsosaid, as At One suggested, that a heavy cold could sometimes trigger a nose bleed but that the incident may well have been just a coincidence and nothing to do with the massage at all.
Thanks for your help.
Hi
Has your client been particularly stressed recently or anything? I have never suffered nose bleeds in my life, however, recently i was going through a particularly stressful stage and just got one in the middle of the night for no reason, not had them again since either. It really surprised me as I said I have never had a nose bleed before.
I know you straight away wonder if it is something that you have done but it is just as easily something as simple as stress.

Hi Sass
Yes, my client was very stressed at the time. She'd never had a nose bleed before and thankfully she hasn't had one since....it is very easy to assume that anything that happens is down to your treatment...especially when starting out.
I GUESS IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER A MASSAGE IT WOULD BE THE MASSAGE. IS SHE PREGNANT? I KNOW THAT DURING PREGNANCY YOU CAN GET NOSE BLEEDS BECAUSE THERE IS EXTRA BLOOD IN THE BODY. STRANGELY ENOUGH, WHENEVER I MASSAGE MY FRIEND SHE GETS A STUFFY NOSE, LIKE A COLD ALMOST. SO I DONT KNOW WHETHER IT WAS THE ESSENTIAL OILS USED OR THE MASSAGE (WHICH WAS ONLY A BACK AND NECK MASSAGE). I HOPE TO ASK MY TUTOR SOON.

This is interesting, as I have given a number of Indian Head Massages, I have never had this happen. I wonder if there is any other problem which is causing the nose bleed and the massage has just brought it to a head. I would be interested to know what others have experienced.
I had a nose bleed in the middle when i was treating a client (Indian Head Massage), was a bit difficalt but i carrid on and tilted my head back, dont ask me how i finnished it lol, but i got through ok without a drop on the floor or the client lol. I must had looked very strange giveing the treatment, luckly the clieant was semi asleep.
