Where do they touch in a full body massage?

A full-body massage is designed to target all major muscle groups, relieve tension, and improve circulation. Here’s a breakdown of the areas a professional massage typically covers:

1. Back and Shoulders

  • Includes the upper, mid, and lower back

  • Focuses on shoulder blades, spine muscles, and trapezius

  • Relieves stiffness from sitting or poor posture

2. Neck and Head

  • Massage therapists often work on the neck, base of the skull, and sometimes scalp

  • Reduces tension headaches and improves mobility

3. Arms and Hands

  • Includes shoulders, biceps, forearms, and hands

  • Helps reduce tension from typing, lifting, or daily activities

4. Legs and Feet

  • Focuses on thighs, calves, and feet

  • Relieves soreness, improves circulation, and promotes relaxation

  • Reflexology may also target pressure points in the feet

5. Glutes (Bum)

  • Often included because glute muscles affect posture and lower back health

  • Helps relieve tightness from sitting and enhances mobility

6. Chest and Abdomen (Optional)

  • Some therapists include the chest and upper abdomen with consent

  • Focuses on muscle relaxation, not sexual areas

🛏️ Draping and Privacy

  • Therapists use draping techniques to keep you covered at all times

  • Only the area being worked on is exposed

  • This ensures comfort, modesty, and professionalism

✅ Bottom Line

In a professional full-body massage, therapists touch all major muscle groups: back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, feet, and sometimes chest and glutes. The focus is always therapeutic, safe, and respectful, with privacy maintained through draping.
