A: If you’re going to take off clothing for a massage, you only need to remove what you’re comfortable removing. While it is always easier to massage with no barriers, treatments such as myofascial therapy, Mitsuki-do, and peripheral joint mobilizers can be done while you are fully clothed. If you would like your glutes treated directly, it’s best with no pants. Underwear that’s comfortable for a glute treatment includes bikini bottoms, thongs, briefs, boy shorts, and very loose boxers. Boxer briefs are too tight in the leg to properly tuck out of the way. You’ll also be under a sheet, and I’ll only uncover areas I’m working on as I come to them.
