National Massage Therapy Awareness Week Now a Registered Service Mark of AMTA

The American Massage Therapy Association is delighted to announce that it has been granted a Registered Service Mark by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the term National Massage Therapy Awareness Week.  This allows AMTA to protect the name of its program from use by those not authorized to use it.

AMTA began active celebration of National Massage Therapy Awareness Week in 1997 to promote public awareness of the massage therapy profession and the benefits of massage therapy.   Each year AMTA members and Chapters hold public demonstration massages, public education programs and other activities to promote better public awareness of massage therapy.  AMTA also collaborates with massage associations in Canada to hold massage awareness activities during the same week.

AMTA members and Chapters are fully authorized to use the name National Massage Therapy Awareness Week.  For more information about National Massage Therapy Awareness Week October 19-25, 2003, contact Ron Precht at the AMTA National Office (847-864-0123).
