Does a full body massage include bum?

Yes! In a professional full-body massage, the buttocks (glutes) are commonly included because they are major muscle groups that hold tension and affect posture. Massaging the glutes can help:

  • Relieve lower back pain

  • Improve hip mobility and flexibility

  • Reduce tension from sitting for long periods

  • Enhance overall circulation in the lower body

✅ How It’s Done

  • Professional and Therapeutic: The massage focuses on muscle tissue only, not any sexual areas.

  • Draping for Privacy: A sheet or towel covers the body, and only the area being massaged is exposed.

  • Techniques Used: Techniques like kneading, compression, and circular motions target tight glute muscles safely.

⚠️ Important Notes

  • If you feel uncomfortable, you can ask the therapist to adjust pressure or skip the area.

  • A licensed therapist never massages private areas—the focus is purely on muscle health and relaxation.

✅ Bottom Line

Yes, the bum (glute muscles) is included in a full-body massage, but only in a professional, therapeutic way. It’s about relieving tension, improving circulation, and supporting posture—not sexual activity.
