amta's national massage therapy awareness week

october 25-31, 2009

Every October, massage therapists, schools and chapters across the country celebrate AMTA’s National Massage Therapy Awareness Week (NMTAW) by going into their communities to celebrate the importance of massage.  In previous years, members have donated their time for police and fire departments, hospice workers and military families. Others have reached out to community centers, libraries and hospitals during NMTAW and given presentations on the many benefits of massage.  And many host their own client appreciation events.

Look for events in your area October 25-31, 2009 or contact the AMTA National Office later this summer for an updated list of participating groups.
