During a back rub, which areas are exposed?

• A. Arms and hands
• B. Face and neck
• C. Legs and feet
• D. Back and shoulders

Answer: (D)

The area being worked is the back and shoulders. In a back rub, the client lies face down and the therapist uses drapes to keep the rest of the body covered, exposing only the back and shoulder region to access the muscles there. This privacy is maintained while the back muscles and shoulder blades are treated. The arms, legs, and face are typically kept covered, so they aren’t exposed during this type of massage.
