The Future Of Massage Therapy

The Future Of Massage Therapy Profession is in Research.

Credible , well-designed research that yields clear information about how massage affects human function allows therapists to build bridges with the rest of the health care community.

It allows us to market massage as a self-care prevention strategy rather than an occasional luxury.

There is a new site for therapists and the general public to go to for academic, peer-reviewed research information. It is available online as a quarterly electronic publication.

The International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (www.ijtmb.org)

Years ago my former business partner and I coined the phrase,

"Massage is a Necessity, not a Luxury"

and I am happy to see that after all these years, that is becoming more accepted in the general public than ever before.
