FAQs

How do you know if a massage parlor is sketchy? ›

A full body massage is a form of massage therapy that involves massaging (almost!) the entire body, using professional techniques that can help to relieve muscle soreness, promote relaxation, and reduce stress. A full body massage will typically include the back, legs, arms, head, shoulders, and feet.

A masseuse typically refers to a person who provides massages and is often associated with relaxation and spa settings. In contrast, a massage therapist is a trained professional who has undergone formal education and received a license to practice therapeutic massage.

Obscure windows could be a sign the business is hiding something. Most legitimate massage parlors will have an open, welcoming storefront to encourage customers to come in and try their services. If you see a massage parlor with windows boarded up or really dark blinds covering them, that is a red flag.

Red Flag which is also a contraindication: Client presents with lower back pain and radiating pain down one leg and also reports of having changes in bowel and bladder control. This is a Red Flag and a contraindication.

Unless you are having a heart attack or another similar kind of extreme physical episode that renders you unable to use your vocal cords, please do not touch your therapist during your service.

Changes In Behavior

The therapist might seem more flirtatious, and even seductive. You might find the session dwells on personal conversations, instead of focusing on treatment. Changes in body language might not be immediately obvious, but they can indicate a shift in the relationship.

What is the most favorite body part to be massaged? ›

What is the most favorite body part to be massaged? Preferences vary, but common favorites for massage include the back, neck, and shoulders. These areas often carry tension and can significantly benefit from a well-executed massage.

Wear as much or as little clothing as you'd like during the massage. When it's time for your appointment, feel free to take off some, all, or none of your clothing. Most people dress down to their underwear for the first time, while others are completely fine being naked under the massage blanket.

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”.

A good therapist lets their client control the amount of talking during the treatment. There will always be a small amount of conversation from the therapist when they checking in with you during the treatment.

Go looking for proof that a massage will improve your health, and you'll have no trouble finding research to back you up. From easing muscle soreness after exercise to reducing stress, dozens of studies—stretching back several decades—have linked massage with real physical and psychological benefits.

The therapist makes off-color jokes or hints at sexual things. The therapist asks you questions about your intimate relationships or tells you about theirs. The therapist comments on your attractiveness when it is not in the context of massage.

Massage Parlor and Day Spa Infections

Generally, infections are limited to skin related or fungus related injuries caused by a failure to properly clean or maintain the facilities. Such infections can be moderate to serious and can include the spread of certain sexually transmitted diseases.

“Most up-and-up [legitimate] massage parlors, you're going to be able to see inside,” she explained. Legitimate massage businesses will also have their services and prices clearly displayed. A red flag for her is “if you go in and it's just kind of dark and there's no prices for services listed,” Stinson said.
