The first fundamental rules of the robots:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
There are the "Hard massages", when people want to feel the pain to feel better
Hard massages, Ventusa, Thai massage, Scrubs and others, do "pain" to feel better later.
And also, there are people who when you do the massage, want it harder, in that moment the robot, will blow up and fail to do the massage to the customer.
Unless AI is very well developed, but not in this century...
A massage, it's not only pressures, manipulations and stretching, it's also human contact, psychology and trusting someone.
A robot malfunctioning could harm, an ill therapist, it's resting on a bed.
