Cosmetics, Beauty / Massage
English term or phrase: femoral triangle
Anleitung für einen Masseur im Beauty-Salon für eine Massage. Natürlich findet man viele Bilder, aber wie würde man diesen Bereich als Kosmetikerin nennen (also nicht zwingend der medizinische Begriff).

Vielen herzlichen Dank im Voraus!

Kontext:

Routine:
• Right leg – hip to toe – avoid Femoral Triangle
• Left leg – hip to toe
• Abdomen & sides of body
• Right arm – lower arm first then elbow to décolletage
• Left arm
• Shoulder from standing behind guest’s head

Vielen Dank an alle! Miss Managements Antwort ist sicherlich medizinisch korrekter, aber dennoch finde ich in diesem Kontext Schenkeldreieck passender und die Masseurin weiß, was gemeint ist (Unterschenkeldreieck existiert nicht).
