The first rule of massage therapy is to ensure the comfort and safety of the client. This includes creating a comfortable and relaxing environment, using proper techniques and pressure, and communicating effectively with the client to ensure that they are comfortable with the massage.

Don't be disgusting and ask for or talk about anything of a sexual nature. Licensed professional massage therapists are not hookers. Don't get deep into other hit button topics like political opinions and views. Don't get into your religious beliefs.

It's always a good idea to let your therapist know about any recent injuries or health concerns you may have. This will help them adapt the massage to your specific needs. This will help them determine which areas to focus on and which areas to avoid.

What is important to remember is your professional and ethical obligations to the client, including how a power differential might have influenced the interest or start of the personal relationship. It is NEVER a good idea for a health care provider to start dating their client.
