...man a sports massage? My wife is adamant that the massage lady i'm seeing for my back ache is dodgy and therefore also seedy. She seems to think its law that she is not allowed to massage my back unattended. Can someone clear this up for me so i have the back up needed to prove her wrong and continue getting my back sorted.

Thanks in advance for your answers

Your wife is wrong about the "law." If this woman makes your wife uncomfortable, maybe you should consider finding another therapist out of respect for your wife.

Some legitimate massage parlours only use same-gender masseurs, for obvious reasons really, but it's not the law. Carry on with whatever you're doing.

Yeah - you must have a lawyer present throughout the massage under s.5 of The Massage (Dodgy Premises) Act 1925.


If this is a serious question, the answer is self-evidently "no" - your wife my wish it was the law, but it isn't..
