Consent
Clothing, draping, position, pressure, conversation, areas, and stopping remain visible choices. Payment is never treated as bodily consent.
Editorial policy
Clarity before certainty, autonomy before conversion.
Massage.how explains what people can choose, what professionals should clarify, what evidence can support, and where a guide must stop.
Scope
We do not diagnose, prescribe, issue credentials, certify technique, clear someone for massage, or replace medical care.
Evidence language
We use conditional language when evidence is limited and reject detox, cure, guaranteed recovery, fantasy earnings, and guaranteed career claims.
Provider comparisons
Credentials, fit, terms, access, and complaint pathways outrank décor or commission. Sponsored status must remain visible.
Generated photography
Original cinematic images clarify a real situation, movement, or decision. Every active image must pass original-resolution anatomy and context review plus desktop and mobile crop review. Visual integrity is not professional technique certification. Images are never presented as documentation of a real provider, school, credential, result, or medical condition.
Corrections
Mutable facts carry review dates. Material corrections update the affected guidance, supporting source, and visible review date.
