Over time the trust developed between therapists and their clients is enormous. Massage therapists' work often helps to relieve the stress and negative emotions clients carry with them. We all want to help our clients in distressing times. However, it is easy for the bond that develops between #massagetherapist and client to cross the line into counsellor and patient. #massagetherapy #massagewarehouse #massagetherapybusiness #sportsmassage #sportsmassagetherapist #massageuk #massage
