Which medical problem would prevent a massage from being performed during a manicure?

A heart condition would prevent a massage from being performed during a manicure because it can pose significant health risks. Clients with heart conditions may experience complications such as irregular heartbeats, elevated blood pressure, or increased anxiety from physical stimulation. Massage can elevate heart rate and potentially exacerbate underlying cardiovascular issues, leading to further complications.

In contrast, albinism, chloasma, and thyroid conditions generally do not have the same immediate risks associated with massage during a manicure. While these conditions may require certain precautions in terms of skin sensitivity or reactions, they do not usually contraindicate physical touch in the way that a heart condition does. Therefore, it is crucial for nail technicians to be aware of a client’s medical history and to prioritize their safety when administering services.
