[nationthailand]

Jade said the five risk groups are:

- People suffering from osteoporosis. Jade said if people with osteoporosis underwent massage, they would suffer pain and might have to go to hospital. He advised osteoporosis patients to seek doctors’ advice if they feel joint or muscle pains.

- Cancer patients, especially those with cancer spread through the bones. Jade said people whose cancer cells have spread through bones or who are receiving chemotherapy should not receive massage. He explained that massage would stimulate glands that prompt the cancer cells to spread much more and worsen their condition.
