Boundaries around physical contact in therapy are put in place to create a safe place for clients to work out difficult issues. But many therapists are flexible when it comes to these boundaries, as long as they remain professional and do not cause harm to the client. That flexibility can include hugging.

The term masseuse is a French word that refers to a female who practices massage. (Males in the industry were known as masseurs.) However, due to certain unsavory connotations (as well as the need for more gender neutral terminology), both male and female massage practitioners go by the term “massage therapist”.

There are many names for a massage therapist that comes to your home or office like Mobile massage, In home massage, or traveling massage therapists.

The body-to-body massage is also known as a Nuru massage. It involves the therapist massaging the client with their own body. The therapist's hands, arms, legs, and feet are frequently used in this, and it can be done with or without using oils.
