When I was training regularly I was a very hands-on trainer. I learned (the hard way) that you really need to just talk to your client, and let her know what you're about to touch and why. I had a client quit in my early career, and found out later that she was telling people that I made advances on her. I think that the only thing I ever touched was her shoulders and neck.
People are finicky about their personal space. I inform people when I take them on as a client (male or female) that my job requires me to sometimes get in their personal space . Communication! Once they know that they aren't shocked when you do.
