A huge thank you to all of my clients that have reviewed me on Google!

We are NOT masseuses.

That term is very outdated, inaccurate, and rooted in an era when bodywork wasn’t recognized as healthcare or a legitimate profession. Today, it also carries a long-standing sexualized connotation that puts licensed professionals at risk emotionally, professionally, and sometimes physically.

I went to Massage Therapy school in 1996. Within my first 3 months working in the profession I was sexually assaulted by a client named Dave. I never dreamed that almost 30 years later we would still be dealing with these same issues as a profession.

Let’s be very clear:

We are Licensed Massage Therapists.
Vetted, Licensed & regulated by the state board. Formally educated in college level anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, pathology, injury care, and much more.
Required to complete continuing education to maintain licensure.
Held to strict ethical, professional, and legal standards.

We work alongside chiropractors, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and medical providers.
We assess, treat, and document pain, dysfunction, trauma, stress, and recovery.

Calling us “masseuses” isn’t harmless.
It fuels outdated stereotypes that undermine our credibility and invite inappropriate behavior.

Making "jokes" about our profession isn't harmless. Happy ending jokes are NEVER funny and encourage sexual harassment & assault.

Words directly impact our safety inside our treatment rooms.

So please use the correct term.

Licensed Massage Therapist.
Not masseuse.
Not the back rubber.

If you wouldn’t call a physical therapist “the stretch girl”
or a nurse “the bedpan lady,”
don’t reduce our profession to a term that strips it of legitimacy.

And “that’s just what we've always said” isn’t an excuse for anything.

Sincerely,
Michelle Coffman, Licensed Massage Therapist and business owner of almost 30 years.

P.S. If you support Licensed Massage Therapists being treated as professionals please share this post to help us educate others.
