I've had very deep massages from females and lighter massage from males. Depending on how that therapist uses their body while performing bodywork depends on how much pressure the client gets. Some of the misconceptions out there are that guys give more pressure than girls in massage which is not true. If that means keeping your clothes on, thats just fine by me. Before each session with a new client I say "undress to your comfort level". If you look at it as a medical necessity does your way of thinking change? What if you got to keep your clothes on and get the same benefit? Would you change your mind? I give those options to all my clients. Why the hang up? Is it taking off clothes and having some male stranger massage you? Possibly. The work I do is equally as important as the benefits you can receive from chiropractic. Many have no problem going to a male chiropractor.

The work I perform is closely related to manual techniques that some physical therapist would use. Most people have no problem going to physical therapy and having a male physical therapist work on them. Whether that is relaxation or specific focus massage for pain, I want to make sure all my clients have a great experience. I work on over 100 people a month, you're just another body on the table that needs my help. My main concern is if someone could really use my services, I'd hate for them not to come see me because of my gender. To make it easier, I always let everyone know that I can perform bodywork with your clothes on. I do this by spelling out exactly what I do, what my clients can expect, great reviews from past clients, and the many articles I have written about massage.

When potential clients find my website, I make sure to present a professional image. My first recommendation is to always research who the therapist is. I can see where it may be more difficult to trust a male therapist over a female. If I'm paying for an hour massage which generally ranges from $60-$100, I want to get my money's worth and give it to the best therapist male or female. I got to a point that gender didn't matter anymore. Sometimes females gave better massages, sometimes it was the males. But the more massage I received, the more I realized that it really didn't matter who was working on me. What changed my mind? Working on and being worked on by males when I was in massage school was so weird to me. Nowadays, I couldn't tell you how many male massage therapists have worked on me. It would have been just too weird for me.
Before I entered this profession, I wouldn't have either. I can relate to most guys who would never let another guy touch them. That person might have a history of sexual abuse from a male, had a terrible massage experience from a male, sexual bias or a plethora of many reasons they prefer a female over a male. I'm here to tell you that when it really comes down to it, gender doesn't matter when it comes to a good massage.ĭoes it upset me a little when someone tells me that they want a female therapist instead? I would be lying if I said it doesn't, but I know everyone has their own reasons. Many look for male massage therapists because of the perception that we are stronger. People look for female therapists because they have more of a "caring" touch. Everyone has their reasons of choosing one gender over the other. Now I'm not setting out to complain, but I would like to share my perspective. Sadly however many out there wouldn't ever let a guy perform bodywork on them. There are so many people I could have helped with their pain situation if they would have let me work on them. Of course being a male massage therapist does have it's set of challenges to overcome. I get to "stand out from the crowd" so to speak. I enjoy being in a career field that's predominately women.
