“WELLNESS : Focus on Well-being”
By: Hensie Rumbagahan
Many uninformed individuals confuse wellness therapist with therapeutic therapist. Sometimes, we are mistakenly seen as a “pleasure givers”.
We have the knowledge of anatomy, basic health practices, and massage manipulations but if the clients have underlying medical conditions, it is best to consult with medical professionals.
Wellness therapists are allied professionals who support therapeutic practitioners such as PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, PHYSIOTHERAPISTS, and SPEECH THERAPISTS.
If you are experiencing unusual sensations or seeking sexual gratification, a professional wellness therapist cannot provide those services.
Professional wellness therapist maintain high ethical standards, which reflect their self-respect.
Therefore, WELLNESS SERVICES are for relaxation and physical relief, NOT for sexual gratification.
