Do massages include privates?
A full-body massage doesn’t have to include your sensitive areas. You can say which parts of your body you don’t want to be touched. It’s up to you. Women usually remove their bras to allow the massage therapist to work on the back and shoulder area without getting massage oil or lotion on the bra. If your problem area is your low back, hips, buttocks, or groin, tight-fitting or large underwear can sometimes get in the way of massage work.
Why are massages so expensive?
Many don’t realize that massage therapist’s are paid only for the physical work during a session with their clients. Therapists have to invest time outside of work to maintain their physical well-being. They also put a lot of energy into helping you feel better. Even though there is no fixed amount, the standard tipping range for massage therapy typically falls between 15-25% of the session cost. The lower end (15%) is generally acceptable for a good experience, while 20% is more common for exceptional service.If you need a massage to unwind after your adventures in the United Kingdom it is appropriate to leave a small tip to the therapist.
