The Massage Lab at RSCC

It's a wrap. Congratulations. Proud to be a part of this amazing group.

Stronger Together. 💚

That was more than our theme this weekend in Kansas City. It was what happened in the room.

School owners, educators, CE providers, regulators, associations and vendors spent three days doing what this profession needs most: connecting, collaborating and learning from one another. Different roles, one shared purpose: elevating massage therapy education for every student and every educator.

Thank you to our presenters, our keynote Laura Allen Clayton, our sponsors and vendors, our volunteers, and every attendee who traveled to be part of it. You raised the standard, shared what works, and reminded us that no one in this profession builds alone.

This is why AFMTE exists: to be an independent voice, advocate and resource for the massage therapy education community. This weekend, you showed what that looks like in person.

The conference is over. The work, and the connections, keep going via our Mighty Network
Group, monthly Think Tanks and collaboration with the associations.

Today's topics...using humor and multi-modal learning.

"Using Health Professions Competencies to Improve Massage Education" with Jeffery Montoya. This is gonna be good

Massage therapy in Tennessee is regulated by Division II of the Health Related Boards, alongside professions such as medicine, nursing, chiropractic, and physical therapy. Professional organizations, including the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP), support initiatives that promote recognition and protection for trained massage therapists—and help protect massage therapy as a respected, regulated profession. Please join us in supporting the organizations that advocate for our profession and the people we serve. https://www.respectmassage.com/
