Episode 083: Safety and Trust in the Massage Industry

Sometimes massage therapists do bad things and sometimes those things are very bad. Massage Therapy is a beautiful profession, but we are not immune from people using their position of power and trust for the bad.

David and Jackie discuss the one thing we must hold as sacred in the massage industry: trust and safety. Following a recent high-profile case in South Australia, we discuss what went wrong, how therapists can better protect their clients, and what steps the industry can take to raise standards and improve public perception.

We break down the process for reporting unethical behaviour, the role of massage associations, and how therapists can empower clients to speak up. It’s an important conversation for every massage professional.
