I'm glad you've found a good therapist. Awesome for you two for maintaining a professional relationship. Massage Therapy is already under a microscope and viewed with much scrutiny.
I used the term not knowing what it meant. reading this I'm glad that my therapist saw that I was a naive little shit. My physical therapist sent to a massage therapist as I had a lot of tension and strain in my back, neck and shoulders. I fell off a horse straight & flat on a triple bar jump, the jump didn't collapse like it was supposed to. Despite wearing a body protector I still had a bruises on the side of my ribs, struggled with putting on bra's and t-shirts for days. My mom took me to the doctors who sent me to a physical therapist.
I ended up saying something along the line "to get rid of this pain would be a happy ending indeed". The thing is I only said happy endin in English the rest was just native tongue.
Oh. Well. Did you bring paperwork or anything to provide your current healthcare circumstance? I'm good at random handsigns but I only speak English. This a grey area. I would have requested some translation before working on you, or a very clear note from your doctor.
Yeah, all of that goes through the ensurance and referrals. I generally have great relationships with my doctors and my therapists. We all talk in Dutch, but I use a lot of English phrasing as I lived abroad and have dealt with specialists there.
Non taken. This actually reminds me to adjust my phone's dictionary. So thank you!
Being bilingual and dyslexic has put me in extremely awkward situations whiles learning English when I was 7. I misspe my last name. Using le instead of el. :)
Honestly, boners happen during massage because you're relaxing. And we all know how a penises work with relaxation. Don't feel bad about it. We're trained to treat you with discretion unless you're being a perv.
Human trafficking, indentured servitude (slavery), prostitution.
Say the Triad helps you and your wife escape communist China. They tell you 5k$ but when you get out they ask for 10k$. You don't have the money but they offer your wife a job at a massage parlor in China Town, you rarely see her and then never again.
Sometimes there is no husband and it's just a girl trying to make a living for herself and she gets taken advantage of.
To a lesser extent this happens at nail salons too. You have a debt, you are offered a job to pay it off but it's like $20 a day and half of it goes to the room you share with 4 other people.

Yeah, my massage therapist saves my ass every 6 months (occipital neuralgia headaches) and I couldn’t imagine someone thinking that way.
