Body massage for women

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Fatwa.org.au
Is it permissible for a woman to get a body massage?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

__ It is permissible for a Muslim woman to have her entire body besides the area between her navel to her knees massaged by another Muslim woman. It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to get a body massage from a non-Muslim woman or a male.
