Many massage therapists struggle with inappropriate clients and with the public confusing our career with sex work. As massage therapists, we undergo hundreds of hours of training in anatomy, pathology, physiology as well as hands-on technique and therapeutic boundaries. Unfortunately, our profession is sometimes used as a cover for human trafficking and the sex trade. These human trafficking establishments are usually not licensed and certainly do not have licensed massage therapists. This article from Salon.com talks about these issues. Yet the writer still calls us masseuses in the article. I wrote them and have urged other professional massage therapists to do the same, so in the future they will address us as massage therapists.
