Why do people have to be nude during a massage?

Not all types of massage require the recipient to remove their clothing. For those types of massage which do require the removal of clothing, it is expected that client's arrive to their massage CLEAN and LEAVE ON A PAIR OF UNDERPANTS so that professional draping with a sheet can be performed during the massage. For the type of massage most people are familiar with, Swedish massage, removal of the clothing allows the therapist to more easily feel tense muscles, see the skin and body for signs of distress, and most clients enjoy the sensation of oil or lotion being applied. Without clothing, the therapist can use long sweeping strokes with more pressure, work more easily on areas like beneath the shoulder blades, and have an easier time manipulating tissues.

What requirements does a massage therapist must have in order to perform an infant massage?

The answer to this question depends on where you are in the world and also what you want for your child. The international Association for Infant Massage encourages parents to massage their own babies as opposed to bringing your baby to a therapist to do it for you. By going to classes in Infant Massage, you can learn the techniques and benefit yourself form the interaction and learning that occurs when you massage your own child. This also empowers you as you are the expert when it comes to your baby, not a therapist so if you learn the techniques, you can use massage whenever and whereever it suits you and your baby. Contact the IAIM at one of it's worldwide chapters for more information.
