In a spa or professional therapeutic setting, it is generally not standard practice for the therapist to stay inside the treatment room while a client changes. Client privacy, comfort, and maintaining appropriate boundaries are important aspects of any spa or therapy experience.
Typically, the therapist would provide the client with a private space, such as a changing room or an area with a curtain or door for changing. They may step outside the room during this time to respect the client's privacy and allow them to change comfortably.
Once the client is ready, they usually indicate this to the therapist, who then returns to begin the treatment. During the session, the therapist will ensure appropriate draping or covering to maintain the client's comfort and privacy while addressing the specific treatment needs.
If you ever encounter a situation where a therapist remains in the treatment room while you change, and it makes you feel uncomfortable, it is entirely appropriate to express your concerns. You have the right to request more privacy or ask for the therapist to step out while you change. Respectful communication is crucial to ensuring that you have a positive and comfortable experience during your spa or therapy visit.
