We study, analyze, and apply these trends to massage therapy so we can accurately see what's happening in the industry and where improvement is needed.
We believe professional excellence goes far beyond the treatment room, expanding into all interactions with the public at large, our clients and/or patients, our employers, managers, supervisors and co-workers, to our media outlets, city councils, state boards and government officials. Each of these relationships are involved in the dynamic that shapes our future.
