massage therapists
Professional tension relievers
Massage therapists are professionals who manipulate muscles and soft tissue to relieve pain, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.
They work in spas, clinics, sports facilities, and private practice.
The title distinguishes trained, licensed practitioners from unlicensed massage workers—a distinction that matters because "massage parlor" often euphemizes prostitution.
