WELCOME to MORE INFO ABOUT DRAPING.
Are you too scared to call me and flat out ask if I do Happy Endings? Read below to find out what I think about that.
OUR VALUES
As part of this commitment, we adhere strictly to the draping policies mandated by Florida state law. Our draping policy is not merely a guideline but a legal requirement designed to protect both the client and the therapist. It’s unfortunate that we even need to have this conversation, but recent experiences have made it clear that some clients are unaware of—or choose to disregard—these essential rules.

Draping Policy at Back to You: Ensuring Professionalism and Compliance
Welcome to Back to You Therapeutics, where we don’t just believe in providing exceptional massage services but also in adhering to the highest standards of professionalism, as dictated by, you know, the law. Yes, that’s right, there are actual legal requirements governing how a massage session should proceed, including the oh-so-crucial draping policy. It’s astonishing that we have to spell this out, but recent experiences have forced our hand. So here we are, clarifying what should be common sense.
Understanding Draping Laws in Florida
Florida state law, specifically Chapter 64B7-26.010 of the Florida Administrative Code, is crystal clear on this matter: “The draping of the client shall be done in a manner that ensures the privacy and comfort of the client, and the genitalia and, except as provided in subsection (4), the gluteal and breast areas shall remain covered at all times.”
Now, this isn’t up for debate or interpretation. It’s a legal requirement designed to protect both the client and the therapist. And no, your ignorance or indifference doesn’t change that.
For those who feel inclined to “explore boundaries,” let me be blunt: Florida state law of up to $1,000 for violations of these regulations. This fine is directed at the therapist, who, believe it or not, is just trying to maintain a safe and professional environment. So, consider this a heads-up: you’re not just putting your massage experience at risk, but also someone else’s livelihood.
Zero Tolerance for Non-Compliance
Here at Back to You, we have a zero-tolerance policy for any behavior that defies these draping guidelines. Our therapists are professionals, not entertainers or performers in your misguided fantasy. If you can’t adhere to these basic rules, your session will be terminated immediately.
And yes, you’ll still be charged for the full rate of the service, plus an additional $1,000 fine to cover any potential legal repercussions.
And let’s not forget: you will be banned from ever setting foot in our establishment again.
We understand that some people think rules are for other people, but not here. This policy isn’t just about making you feel awkward or uncomfortable—it’s about maintaining a standard of professionalism that ensures the safety and well-being of everyone involved. It’s a sad commentary on humanity that we even have to address this, but here we are.
Why the Strict Adherence?
“Why so strict?” you may wonder. The answer is simple: it’s the law, and more importantly, it’s about creating a safe, respectful environment where therapeutic work can be conducted without unnecessary distractions or discomfort. The practice of massage therapy involves a significant level of trust and vulnerability, and adhering to these guidelines is crucial for maintaining that trust.
For those who might think they’re clever enough to “test the waters” or push boundaries, let this serve as your formal warning. You’ll face immediate consequences, including financial penalties and a permanent ban from our services. We don’t need your business that badly, trust me.
Client Responsibility
As a client, it’s your responsibility to understand and comply with these laws. Ignorance is not an excuse; it’s a choice. The information is readily available, and our policies are clearly communicated before any session. If you’re unsure about what’s appropriate, ask before your appointment. This isn’t a conversation we want to have in the middle of a session, nor should we have to have it at all.
For those clients who have always been respectful and compliant, we thank you. You are the reason we enjoy what we do, and your understanding helps us maintain a professional and welcoming environment for everyone. If you have any questions or concerns, please, feel free to ask. We’re here to provide a service, and part of that service includes ensuring you’re comfortable and well-informed.
Conclusion
The draping policy at Back to You is not just a suggestion; it’s a legal requirement and a cornerstone of our commitment to professional integrity.
We will continue to uphold this policy rigorously, and we expect our clients to do the same. Failure to adhere to these regulations will result in immediate and significant consequences, including financial penalties and a permanent ban from our services.
If you find this policy too restrictive, perhaps the issue isn’t with the policy but with your understanding of respect and professionalism. At Back to You, we’re committed to creating a safe, comfortable, and respectful environment for all our clients and therapists. We ask for nothing less than your full cooperation in maintaining these standards.
Thank you for your understanding and compliance.
