'I've banned most men from my massage clinic because of their behaviour'

Many female massage therapists in Scotland are refusing new male clients or only seeing trusted referrals after repeated sexualised behaviour left them feeling unsafe.
Reports of sleazy banter, requests for "extras" and boundary-pushing are common, prompting therapists to adopt stricter safety practices or open women-only businesses.
Industry figures want standardised training and a governing body so therapists can report incidents and improve workplace safety in an unregulated sector.
