Imagine investing thousands of dollars in education, learning anatomy, physiology, pathology, ethics, contraindications, treatment planning, and professional boundaries… getting licensed, regulated, and held to legal and professional standards… only to still be reduced by some people to prostitution.
That is not just inappropriate. It is deeply disrespectful.
Massage therapists are trained professionals. We are not sexual entertainment, not a loophole for people seeking illegal services, and not something to demean because our work involves touch.
This screenshot shouldn’t even need to exist, but it does. Because far too many skilled, educated, regulated professionals are still forced to deal with the insult of being treated like their profession is something dirty instead of legitimate healthcare and therapeutic work.
It’s offensive. It’s degrading. And it needs to be called out.
Respect the education. Respect the licensure. Respect the boundaries. Respect the profession.
