A member asked:
What do you consider appropriate boundaries for masseur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Boundaries: Not below the mons pubis. Massage therapists may work deep to the pubic bone - however i think that working on genitalia is a boundary issue. Be prepared that for professional massage therapy the patient is usually not wearing clothes but is covered with a sheet. For modesty, usually the only area that is exposed is the specific area of the body being worked on.
