The answer

It is not permissible for a woman to treat men or train them except out of necessity or need. If such is not available, then there is no harm, provided that Islamic precautions are taken, such as avoiding (private seclusion), not touching or looking except out of necessity, and wearing gloves, because necessity is determined by its extent.
