Massage Therapy - Successfully!

I love the internet. It has allowed me to connect with other massage therapists when I wasn’t able to do so in person!

So today I thought I would highlight three great websites for massage therapists to connect with eachother, network, share tips, ideas, success stories, horror stories or questions.

 Bodywork Online - One of my favorite massage forums to frequent I tend to spend a lot of time checking in here…especially now that I’ve become a moderator.

ABMP Forums - One of the benefits of membership with the Association of Massage and Bodywork Professionals is access to the members forums. I love the professionalism and helpful therapists there. You have to be a member of ABMP to access the forums but there are many benefits of joining ABMP. If you decide to join - let them know Angela England sent you!

Massage Practice Builder - This is a yahoo group that has quite a bit of message volume with lots of great input. Questions, debates, class information, marketing ideas….it’s all there.

I’m so excited to announce that The Massage Therapy Foundation will be publishing a peer-reviewed, scientific e-journal called the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. The journal is designed to to help highlight the growing body of research and case studies showing the benfits of massage therapy - hopefully establishing the validity of massage therapy as a dependable alternative treatment for specific medical conditions.

The website reads, “Principal sections of the journal will span the areas of research, education, clinical practice and professional development.” Sounds promising doesn’t it?

They are currently accepting manuscript submissions and the inaugural issue is scheduled for publication in August 2008 with the goal of being a quarterly scientific massage journal.
