You're joking, right?
In case you're not, the only places I touch are the back muscles, maybe the neck. Areas they cannot touch themselves very well.
And the main reason I touch those places is so that the client can be aware of where the muscles are... and occasionally, if things don't look right (extreme forward-head posture, etc), to see if things are actually contracting.
I have had people cup their own butt, put fingers on their hip muscles and abdominals. V-med, etc. They can feel whether or not they are squeezing.
I leave the hands-on stuff primarily to the manual therapists.
