My Professional Association
AMTA has long been the leading choice among massage therapists looking to establish themselves within the profession.
Strongest Benefits
AMTA provides members with the strongest benefits and promotes massage therapy to the public and health care community.
We're the largest nonprofit, professional association serving massage therapists, massage students and massage schools. This means your membership dollars are invested back into the profession through research, advocacy and promotion of the health benefits of massage to the general public and health care community. No other company or organization gives back as much - see for yourself!
"We chose AMTA over ABMP because AMTA is a nonprofit, and I appreciate knowing that all of the funds that go into AMTA are put right back into helping us as AMTA members."
Mandy Denning, Altura College
Join the Most Respected Name in Massage Therapy!
According to a recent survey by Zogby Analytics, American massage consumers view the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) as the most respected and credible name in massage therapy—five times higher than any other massage organization or business.
"I chose AMTA because they are the organization that I fit with the most. Their standards and goals meet up with mine, and it’s been a great fit."

AMTA offers 100+ massage CE courses. It's easy to update your skills and earn CE hours for state licenses - both online and in-person with AMTA's NCBTMB-approved continuing education.
Affordable Massage Liability Insurance Options
While you may think that having your license is all you need to practice massage, it is also important to make sure you are covered with high-quality massage insurance in the case of an unexpected liability, such as a client becoming injured, or damage to property other than your own as a result of something you may or may not have done.
An AMTA Professional Membership and AMTA Graduate Membership includes affordable broad liability insurance to make sure that massage therapists are protected in case of a loss.
With an AMTA membership, you're covered for up to $2 million per occurrence/$6 million aggregate for professional liability, general liability, products and personal injury.
Networking and Community
AMTA is the largest community of massage professionals. Over 100,000 massage therapists have made AMTA their professional association. With the AMTA National Convention, mentoring programs and local chapters, you can find numerous ways to connect with fellow massage therapists.

"I chose AMTA because AMTA has been around forever. And in that, the association has not only evolved with the profession but encouraged the evolution of the profession.
