A massage therapist is the proper term for both men and women that perform professional Massage Therapy. The terms masseuse (for females) and masseur for (men) refer to people that perform massage but have learned under apprenticeship and did not go to a school. These terms also are not politically correct. Just like we no longer say stewardess, but fight attendant. So all massage therapists that have learned their trade at a school for massage prefer to be called massage therapists. If they also have training in Asian modalities, they like to be called bodyworkers.
