Breaking the Stigma Around Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. But even today, many people still misunderstand it. Some think massage is “just a relaxing treat,” while others assume it’s something sexual. This harmful stereotype affects massage therapists, students, and the entire wellness industry.
“Massage Isn’t Sexy — Stop Making It Weird” is a bold and honest e-book created by Tim Bodycare SKM Massage Academy. It explores the real struggles faced by professional therapists — from inappropriate client behavior to cultural stigma in Malaysia and beyond.
