01
During training
Students keep bodily autonomy
Practice does not erase consent. A student should understand the exercise, clothing and draping, areas involved, feedback process, alternatives, and how to stop without retaliation.
- Permission can change
- Pain is not a training requirement
- Report boundary concerns through a clear process
02
With clients
Make choices visible before touch
Explain the plan, request informed consent, maintain professional draping, avoid unnecessary personal disclosure, document appropriately, and stop when consent is withdrawn.
- Stay within the agreed areas
- Do not promise medical outcomes
- Know complaint and reporting duties
03
Inside a business
Marketing can cross boundaries too
Avoid sexualized ambiguity, fear-based claims, fabricated credentials, diagnosis language outside scope, and pressure to rebook or purchase upgrades.
- Use the professional title allowed locally
- Disclose commercial relationships
- Keep records and communications professional
