Is my physical therapist / massage therapist molesting me?!


Question: Is my physical therapist / massage therapist molesting me?
Ive had side and back pain for awhile. I cant afford the ensurance for it so my physical therapist who also has a degree in massage therapy lets me come over to his house to give me sessions for much cheaper. he's asked me if i had a bf and i thought it was just small talk and commented on how flexible i am. And he helps me with my exercises and recently he makes me lie down on the floor and he sticks his hand down my pants and puts his bare hand on my buttocks and push's on my tail bone Is this normal behavior for a physical therapist/ massage therapist to do

You are to oversensitive. If you don't feel comfy tell him to stop.
I believe that he is just doing his job and you should enjoy it instead of whingeing.
What are you, a Pom?



I can't see why he would need to do this technique skin to skin. Also although springing the sacrum or coccyx is a legitimate technique I suspect it is not being applied legitimately in this case.
I'd move on if I were you and you should probably talk to his regulators.

I agree with Dr. Lightning...even though it may be legit technique he is violating boundaries by putting his hand down you pants. This should never happen unless he asks you for permission and it is done in the presence of a female nurse/assistant who can observe everything.

The fact that you feel uncomfortable is enough really.
As someone else suggested, i would consider moving on to a new therapist.
Also..does he run his business from home normally, or is this a favor he is doing for you? be careful.



sounds like someone's about to lose their license.



That sounds like pretty normal therapy. In order to maniplate your spine he does have to touch you, and yes, your tailbone is part of your back. If you are not comfortable with him or have even the slightest idea that his intentions are not professional, don't go to his house!
