How Therapists Handle Involuntary Arousal

Professional massage therapists are trained to handle this common physiological response with complete professionalism.

It happens more often than you think, and here's what they actually do. First,

they simply ignore it and continue working. It's an involuntary response,

like sneezing or sweating, not something to address verbally. They might reposition

draping or adjust their technique to different areas. Most therapists will subtly shift

focus to less sensitive zones like arms or legs. The key is maintaining boundaries while

keeping the client comfortable. If it persists or becomes inappropriate, they'll end the

session professionally. Experienced therapists know this isn't personal, it's just biology.
