As a student who graduated for Massage Therapy just the thought of “Bad Practice” upsets me. Our teachers spent their time not only teaching us about the human body but as well letting us know we are not a masseuses, we are professional Massage Therapist. I will not allow my husband to recieve a massage from myself but from another Therapist because i don’t want to mix pleasure with bussiness.
