A somewhat formal or old-fashioned American English word for a massage therapist — someone who professionally kneads muscles, works out tension, and helps clients relax or recover. 'Massagist' is basically an older equivalent of 'masseur' (male) or 'masseuse' (female) but gender-neutral. While modern English usually prefers 'massage therapist' in professional contexts, 'massagist' still appears occasionally, especially in older texts or formal writing.
