I just want to share some information. Not to make anyone feel bad for saying the word Masseuse but to educate people about why we don't use this word anymore.
Masseuse is a word that is considered "out-dated" and makes most massage therapists uncomfortable. Prior to the 1980's, the word masseuse was widely associated with s*x work. We, as educated licensed professional massage therapists, have battled the "jokes" and negative connotations for 40+ years.
The field of Massage Therapy is now recognized as health care because of thorough training, intensive schooling, licensing & regulation and the many health benefits it offers.
I am proud to be a Massage Therapist working in a massage office (or establishment) & I am thankful to have the opportunity to share my knowledge with my students & clients.
Thanks for reading 😊
