My massage therapist got on the table with me?

[Hack]

I got a massage from a certified therapist, but some of the things he did made me feel a little unsure. Like when he got on top of the table. He wasn't on top of me, not in a suggestive way, but I still found it odd. Is this normal or ok?

Well, I can only speak from experience. Not one, but two medical professionals got "over" on me! I did have a massage once from a therapist on a flat table. The therapist was trying to access my upper middle back and used their knee to levitate and lean over me. It felt weird. There was a language barrier, so I didn't ask. Another experience. This dentist was pulling a particularly deep molar. He tried everything. Finally, he climbed over me to get a better grip. He did warn me first.

It's perfectly normal. Some areas are difficult to work on and require odd positions. Because of this, you really need to find a therapist you're totally comfortable with. Unless they touch you in a way you feel is sexually inappropriate, there's nothing wrong with it.
