An experienced Christchurch physiotherapist has been struck off the register for professional misconduct including a request to massage near a patient's "clitoral region". Once she was lying face down on the massage table he asked her to remove her robe. When he asked if she was comfortable for him to massage near her clitoral region she said no and the massage stopped. The woman asked if he massaged other clients that intimate way. He acknowledged he should not have treated her alone in her house, but denied asking to massage near her clitoral region.
