Ethics in Massage Therapy
I am a licensed massage therapist who must abide by Arizona state laws and the Arizona State Board of Massage Therapy, and I choose personally not only to uphold those laws, but require ethical behavior from myself, other therapists I partner with in work, and the clients with whom I work.
Please do not completely disrobe or remove the draping (sheet) from the breasts if female or the genital area no matter what your sex is during your massage. Do not touch me or expect me to touch you in any sexually suggestive manner. Do not be vulgar or expect me to be sexually suggestive in words or actions. By law in Arizona, those are all prohibited behaviors. The breasts may only be worked on if medically necessary and with a doctor's permission, such as after surgery to reduce swelling or scar tissue. The genital area is not to be touched or worked on EVER. If someone engages in these behaviors and you allow or encourage it, you are participating in an illegal, illicit activity. I am interested in improving your health, not your sex life. Please do not expect me to participate in any behaviors prohibited by law or by ethics. If I must terminate your session early due to your inappropriate behavior, full payment for a full session will be due immediately. I will not hesitate to report your behavior, whether solicitation, sexual contact, harassment, vulgar speech, assault, or indecency of any kind or in any manner. I will protect myself physically and legally in all matters.
