A frequent discussion post on massage Facebook groups revolves around what to wear for a massage, draping and whether adjusting underwear is appropriate.

An expression that is commonly used by therapists is that you should “undress…

Assault and Massage – What to Do

Assault and Massage – What to Do

Whether this is the result of an actual increase in assaults or reporting of assaults that would previously have not been reported is unknown and to some extent a moot point anyway as even one sexual assault is one too many. The vast majority of these assaults are by male massage therapists on female clients. Often when these types of assaults…

Why Female Clients Prefer Female on Female Massage Therapy

Why Female Clients Prefer Female on Female Massage Therapy

Most locations visited to see same client – 6 Most generations massaged within one session – 3 Largest age gap between clients massaged in the same week – 94 (100 yr old and 6 yr…

Not that we are biased but receiving massage is wonderful ….. or should be wonderful.

Fortunately these times are the exception and not the rule. This article lists a few of the things that we don’t particularly enjoy when receiving a massage. 1. When an hour is…
