  If you tell your therapist about the discs and the problems with them, you should be fine with massage.
  If you get uncomfortable with the massage at any time, tell your therapist and have him/her adjust pressure to make it more pleasurable for you.

  even more than explicitly communicating this with your therapist, you may want to search out a therapist that has experience in treating herniated discs. there are techniques that can be applied that will assist you, depending on the extent of the herniation, may not cure but can give you some relief…

  And even if it doesn’t fix it, the massage will help you in many other ways as well.

  I believe it matters on the type of massage you request. Different massages utilize different amounts of pressure and rubbing techniques. It would probably be a good idea to discuss what type of massage would be beneficial with your physician since it seems you have been diagnosed with a herniated disc.
