Seriously. You had no issue with him giving her a massage in and of itself? Seriously?\n\nYour boyfriend is apparently not studying massage therapy. The fact that he gave your girlfriend one is shaky by itself. Now, the fact that she was naked? Does this not send off red flags in your head at all? It's not normal for people who are NOT massage therapists to give each other naked massages. That's called "flirtation and maybe sex, depending on how good it is."\n\nIt doesn't matter whether or not they had sex during the massage! At this rate, if they haven't had sex yet, they probably will soon! I'd get myself out of that relationship if I were you - before you really get yourself hurt!

I am also a massage therapist.  i have found that if you get clients who keep fit then they prefer a deep tissue massage.  The hot stone massage does not seem popular where i am based.  I have a few clients that come for relaxation, but others that come for treatments for ailments.  My most popular treatments other that relaxation are deep tissue massage, crystal therapy massage, and refexology.

Yeah it's completely normal.  I knew a medic from the RAF once who told me that he often used to massage some of the squaddies and they used to get very embarrassed when the little fellow popped his head up!

Not at the doctors office but I have, seriously, been given a 'bed bath' by a beautiful 22 yr old nurse in the hostpital after my appendix operation. When she was getting a bit close to that region I STOPPED IT and told her  --  "LISTEN, NURSE, SORRY BUT THAT PART I WILL DO MYSELF !" --- I would have been very embarassed if I had an erection like that because she was literally gently rubbing me on the lower abdomen... ... Easy to say you guys would not mind...   The nurse of 22 was in fact in charge of the ward and she said to me she would not let the 18 year old nurses do it because they were too young, LOLOL... she was... 22 !!  I had to pretend all along that I was not being affected by it all...  talking in a 'matter of fact' way...  She just left whilst I... and returned when I said  'OK' -- I still remembered how my feet tickled like hell, though !!

I think a lot of them are as most of the women are professional teases. Not all though. I recently had an encounter with a woman I met thru one of them. She is married and travels on business. She's away from home for long periods and has an itch that needs scratching. She's on an expense account and even paid for the hotel room. Had a very interesting time.

Massage Therapists have a unique benefit of being allowed to have their own private practices, treat clients in their homes, and work for doctors, sports clubs, or any other business entity. Massage Therapists, who choose not to apply for their City Licenses, may practice in a medical, physical therapy, or chiropractic office. \n\nMassage Therapist who choose to work for themselves earn on average between $60 to $85 per massage.\n\nMassage Therapists who work for someone earn between $20 to $45 per hour. Massage Therapists that work in exclusive country clubs or health spas, earn an additional $10 to $20 per hour on tips given by appreciative clients.\n\nSome insurance companies will compensate the doctor, or the massage therapist directly, for the work performed at an average rate of $65 per massage.

I have not done that but I did have a full body massage one time and was left to relax afterwards with eye mask and headphones on and swathed in several towels. It felt totally weird for a while but just as I was getting used to it the therapist came back and released me.

Not without specialized training. It's not a standard taught in massage school.\n\nI could see a scenario where a massage therapist works for a chiropractor. They often use ultrasound treatments for pain management. The chiropractor could have an in-house training program for his support staff...including the staff massage therapist.\n\nUltrasound therapy for pain management is not a complicated procedure, but if the therapist is doing it outside a clinical practice with professional oversight, I'd sure want to see some evidence that there was some formal training in it's use.

I am a medical massage therapist and would not do massage therapy on a patient without consent from her physician.  Massage therapy with certain types of cancer can possibly spread the cancer due to the fact that you are increasing circulation and moving toxins around in the body.  Definately check with doctor first.

Well - I'm a massage therapist and physical therapist with over 15 years of experience.  I think it depends upon the therapist/patient or client relationship - I have always been professional and never had any problems.  I am also married with one son - I think that makes guys feel safe.  I think it also depends upon how much pain or discomfort you are in - if you need help and are in a lot of pain and know that I could help you, wouldn't you be willing to put those feelings aside?

you need to be more specific with your symptoms before I could tell you if massage could help you.\nIf it is soft tissue issue then YES but you also have to find the right kind of therapist.

I use my thumbs mostly.  You want to apply even pressure on either side of the spine.  If you work small circles with your thumbs about an inch on either side ot the spine it will relax anyone.  Also pay attention to the neck and shoulders...just work your way around with your two twirling thumbs on each side mixed with a sideways 8 around the shoulder blades.  Communicate with the person you are massaging.  The following site is pretty nice too.  Bottom line, the more you rub, the better you get at it.  Think of your own back and how you'd want it rubbed.

Iam a massage therapist, the other therapist that wrote you gave you some good advice. It really wouldnt hurt. Its also hard to tell without some more history. You may not feel angry or tense you may have had a trama long ago that is held in cell memory. (you'd be surprised) so if you get a massage let them know any kind of trama you may have had, accidents, sexual tramas, deaths, or just your everyday normal activities that you are doing at work or play that can be causing issues.

Truth of the matter is, you can be sued to divulging personal information that denies someone of their right to privacy.  This is NOT your information to relay.    The law is very definite on this.  \n\nThe therapist is also obligated to be sure his clients and co-workers are safe.  This should not be a problem as I doubt he is having sex with any of them and the chances of a blood injury from massage is slim.
