• An endangerment site is a region of the body in

which nerves, arteries, or veins lay close to the
body’s surface.

connective tissue and have the potential to be
damaged
• Deep pressure either sustained or through friction,
would be contraindicated for the vessels and nerves
in these areas

• These areas may contain bony projections that are
fragile and may be broken.
• Massage therapists should exercise extreme caution
when working in or close to these endangerment
areas.
• A medical error in execution may occur when a
massage therapist or body worker does not exhibit
extreme caution when working in one or more of
these areas and injury results from treatment.
