Do you undress for a medical massage?
“No! You do not need to be completely undressed. We say “undress to your comfort level.” Personally, as a therapist I prefer less clothing on my client as I can get the muscles a little more, and I can use many techniques. If you were fully clothed there would be a different glide and traction with the massage.
