Prepare Now for National Massage Therapy Awareness Week

If you have a massage business, then it's time you start preparing for National Massage Therapy Awareness Week, October 25 - 31. The week is designed to raise public awareness of the benefits of therapeutic massage, and encourage Americans to seek massage therapy for stress relief, pain management and general health.

Sponsored by AMTA, the week is celebrated in many unique ways, including public massage demonstrations, educational sessions on the benefits of massage and providing massage therapy for charitable events. Here at MTTI-WellSpring, we plan to offer discounted massages in our student clinic and continue our community service efforts.

How will you celebrate the week?

I wish more therapist would be aware of there business and what it actually means to be a therapist. Groups run great events like this and very few people are aware because most therapist think they are the best thing since sliced bread coming right out of school.

I'm glad events like this exist to help educate the public about the value of massage therapy. There are still people that consider it a seedy profession, and a surprising number of states that don't even recognize it as a profession. Thank you Texas, Florida and hopefully more progressive states soon.

Its great to see such an event. Especially in the current climate, where there has been a decline in the number of people going to Spas for treatment.

I have no idea why massage isn't more widely recognised for the wonderful benefits it provides. I try to get a massage at least once a week - absolutely wonderful!

This is something exclusive. I'm not sure if we have something like national massage awareness in the UK but I feel challenged as a massage therapist when I read through this blog. It is worth thinking about starting something like this here. Thanks.

Thats a great event .. :)
Spas and treatment now become a new lifestyle for some people. Having a 'Business' in 'massage service' is along term investment ... Through this National Massage Therapy Awareness Week, the massage therapy become more popular !!
