Hello

I hope everyone is well. I've been invoted to a hen's party in March next year and it will be beld at a day spa. (Well, hopefully it will be. It all depends on how things are looking with the virus!) The girls are keem to try a hot rock leg massage and an oil wrap body massage. Does anyone know if there would be any risk of trying these? I have AFib & I take xarelto. I did a quick google search, but there's a lot of conflicting information.

Thanks for anything you may be able tl share in relation to this!

Hi

I have had AF for 7 years and on medication,including apixaban( anti coagulant,)

Have had many spa treatments ,jacuzzis etc with no issues. I was advised against sauna/ steam room though.

Enjoy!

Do double check because at Champneys I could have nothing except reflexology and nail treatments. I have found that at other spas, even abroad, as well.
