But the biggest indicator that it's inappropriate? You're asking whether it is. If you need to ask, especially when it comes to physical touch in therapy, it probably is.

This.
I think any hugs should be initiated by the client. The therapist could potentially ask "do want a hug?" or "do you feel ok about getting a hug?" but IMHO should not be asking for a hug (ie "can I have a hug?" isn't kosher from a T). I don't think that a massage is ever appropriate.
