Organizations represented were Alliance for Massage Therapy Education (AFMTE); American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA); Associated Bodywork &amp; Massage Professionals (ABMP); Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA); Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB); Massage Therapy Foundation (MTF); and National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). Participating representatives of each organization are listed at the end of this release.</p> <p>The group’s purpose, to come together to address the previously identified concerns of the profession and explore how to collaborate in that work, laid the foundation for the conversation.</p> <p>The issues identified at the first meeting were revisited and each organization updated the group on its individual focus and projects. The highest priorities included: Portability, Consistency of Practice Standards, Entry Level Education, Continuing Education, Discipline/Licensure (Safety/Public Protection), and Certification.</p> <p>A collaborative discussion followed with the goal of discerning if whether what is being done in each area is serving the industry adequately and how the organizations can support and collaborate with one another to achieve a successful outcome. The group agreed that, even since the St. Louis meeting eight months prior, actions by individual organizations have helped constructively clarify roles. That positive progress is tempered by recognition that much important work remains to address acknowledged deficits and advance the massage therapy profession.</p> <p>An ongoing discussion of the Entry-Level Analysis Project (ELAP) occurred and input from the leadership organizations was discussed. Previous projects regarding entry level standards will be reviewed and considered as part of the background for this project. After input from the leadership group, an updated project description will be made public later in May.</p> <p>A key component to the success of this project will be broad input by the massage profession. This opportunity will be available via a companion survey (administered in conjunction with FSMTB’s Job Task Analysis) that is intended to be circulating in June 2012. Please watch for details and take advantage of the opportunity to continue to shape the profession. Both FSMTB and the group of organization leaders would like input from as many practicing massage therapists as possible for the most accurate research.</p> <p>Pete Whitridge (AFMTE) presented the first round of the Teacher Education Standards Project (TESP) to the group. The TESP will be presented to the general public within the next two weeks. Besides being open for comments immediately, at the Alliance’s conference in Tucson, June 7-9, it will be a major agenda item with time for comments and discussion.</p> <p>The value and benefits of programmatic accreditation for the profession, as well as for schools and students, were discussed. In the context of observed wide variation in the quality of massage instructional programs, discussion ensued about the potential that more widespread programmatic accreditation could offer as a lever for improving the overall quality of entry-level education. Comparisons were drawn to other education and health care fields where programmatic accreditation is the accepted norm.</p> <p>The Massage Therapy Foundation talked about their upcoming conference (April 27-29, 2013), improving research literacy capacity, and other projects. Ruth Werner illustrated with specific examples how new research findings are re-shaping understanding of the benefits of massage therapy and thereby the profession’s potential scope of practice.</p> <p>Agreement was reached on focusing on meta-communication, and interacting with other organizations on projects that may have overlap. The next meeting of the Leadership Summit is now scheduled to occur December 5-6, 2012 in Denver, with a scheduled phone meeting prior to that face-to-face meeting.</p> <p>Meeting Participants:</p> <p>ABMP: Bob Benson, Chairman; Les Sweeney, President</p> <p>AFMTE: Pete Whitridge, President; Su Bibik, Secretary/Treasurer</p> <p>AMTA: Cynthia Ribiero, President; Shelly Johnson, Executive Director</p> <p>COMTA: Randy Swenson, Chair; Kate Zulaski, Executive Director</p> <p>FSMTB: Kathy Jensen, President; Debra Persinger, Executive Director</p> <p>MTF: Ruth Werner, President</p> <p>NCBTMB: Alexa Zaledonis, Chair; Mike Williams, CEO</p> <p>For further information, contact the press representatives of the organization listed in this release.</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/wauj2EHVz2c" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } } } } ["http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"]=> array(1) { ["commentRss"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(6) { ["data"]=> string(116) "http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/leadership-summit-in-chicago-addresses-concerns-of-the-profession/feed/" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } } } } ["http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"]=> array(1) { ["comments"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(6) { ["data"]=> string(1) "0" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } } } } ["http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0"]=> array(1) { ["origLink"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(6) { ["data"]=> string(111) "http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/leadership-summit-in-chicago-addresses-concerns-of-the-profession/" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } } } } } } [2]=> array(7) { ["data"]=> string(44) " " ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } ["child"]=> array(6) { [""]=> array(7) { ["title"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(6) { ["data"]=> string(92) "A Little Nudge to Massage Therapists to Write a Case Report – Download a free eBook today!"

The more experience I gain as a massage therapist, the more I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. I’m not just thinking of communication between clients and therapists. There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }

What does that mean and how does it help massage therapy? According to Wikipedia, “Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.&#8221;</p> <p>Online journals that are not open access generally charge for each article to be seen in its entirety. For example, if you are looking for a study on osteoarthritis and massage therapy in <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov" target="_blank">PubMed</a> you will find at least one free article, but you will also find articles that you need to pay for, generally as much as $35 per download. So you can see why some research never reaches those who would otherwise be able to use it in their practice or to make decisions about their health.</p> <p>The IJTMB is a no-fee open access journal. This means that the author is not paid for submitting an article, nor required to pay the journal for publishing an article. It also means that the reader is not required to pay for reading or downloading the full article. The huge advantage here is that the work is available to everyone, everywhere without the need for a journal subscription or a university library subscription. This benefits the researcher by getting her or his work out to the masses; it benefits other researchers who are researching the same or similar topic; it benefits the public (reader, student, teacher, client) because they have easy access to information that is important to them, no matter the reason; and it benefits the tax payer because many studies are funded by tax payer money &#8211; this way they don’t have to pay twice to read the article.</p> <p>Beware that not all open access journals are equal. There have been stories recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education about some journals that are “predatory.” That is, they don’t follow customary scholarly procedures in publishing articles, and their focus is on profit rather than academic scholarship. Be assured that the IJTMB follows all of the rigorous procedures for peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>As a peer-reviewed open access journal, the IJTMB provides high quality research studies and educational articles to help the massage therapist stay abreast of research in the field so they can use research to maintain evidence-informed practices.</p> <p>You can read the most recent issue of IJTMB, and subscribe to receive notification of future issues, at <a href="http://www.ijtmb.org" target="_blank">www.ijtmb.org</a>.</p> <img

Along with <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/meet-ann-blair-kennedy-mtf-trustee/">Ann Blair Kennedy</a>, Dolly joined the MTF board on March 1, 2012. She is the American Massage Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Board representative to the MTF, as AMTA is the Foundation’s Sustaining Benefactor. Dolly resides in Muskegon, Michigan, where she practices massage therapy full time. Below are her answers to four questions I asked her about her involvement with the MTF.</p> <div id="attachment_2353" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353" title="MTF Trustee Dolly Wallace on vacation with her husband" src="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dolly on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, with her husband John</p></div> <p><strong>How did you first hear about the Massage Therapy Foundation?</strong></p> <p><em>I first heard about MTF through AMTA publications in the early 1990&#8242;s.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Explain how you first got involved with the Foundation and the progression to Trustee/volunteer.</strong></p> <p><em>I became involved when I served on the AMTA National Board of Directors 1996-1999. At that time, we were the mirror board for the Foundation. During those years I learned a tremendous amount about the Foundation; its purpose, its goals, its needs, its values and the impact of research on our profession. I was so impressed that I made a five year commitment to contribute financially as an individual donor. Needless to say, those five years have come and gone and I continue to donate annually. It is my belief that without the financial support from our massage community the Foundation would be unable to do the work it does.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>How has the Foundation impacted you as a professional?</strong></p> <p><em>As a practitioner, the Foundation offers me numerous resources to help educate my clients as well as myself. Whether we are talking to our clients, our colleagues or those in other health care fields, it is comforting to know the MTF offers us access to tools and research data that substantiate and support what we do.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What would you like others to know about the MTF?</strong></p> <p><em>I would like others to know that resources are at our fingertips and encourage everyone to visit the MTF web site and take advantage of its offerings.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about all of the MTF Trustees, <a

Organizations represented were Alliance for Massage Therapy Education (AFMTE); American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA); Associated Bodywork &amp; Massage Professionals (ABMP); Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA); Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB); Massage Therapy Foundation (MTF); and National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). Participating representatives of each organization are listed at the end of this release.</p> <p>The group’s purpose, to come together to address the previously identified concerns of the profession and explore how to collaborate in that work, laid the foundation for the conversation.</p> <p>The issues identified at the first meeting were revisited and each organization updated the group on its individual focus and projects. The highest priorities included: Portability, Consistency of Practice Standards, Entry Level Education, Continuing Education, Discipline/Licensure (Safety/Public Protection), and Certification.</p> <p>A collaborative discussion followed with the goal of discerning if whether what is being done in each area is serving the industry adequately and how the organizations can support and collaborate with one another to achieve a successful outcome. The group agreed that, even since the St. Louis meeting eight months prior, actions by individual organizations have helped constructively clarify roles. That positive progress is tempered by recognition that much important work remains to address acknowledged deficits and advance the massage therapy profession.</p> <p>An ongoing discussion of the Entry-Level Analysis Project (ELAP) occurred and input from the leadership organizations was discussed. Previous projects regarding entry level standards will be reviewed and considered as part of the background for this project. After input from the leadership group, an updated project description will be made public later in May.</p> <p>A key component to the success of this project will be broad input by the massage profession. This opportunity will be available via a companion survey (administered in conjunction with FSMTB’s Job Task Analysis) that is intended to be circulating in June 2012. Please watch for details and take advantage of the opportunity to continue to shape the profession. Both FSMTB and the group of organization leaders would like input from as many practicing massage therapists as possible for the most accurate research.</p> <p>Pete Whitridge (AFMTE) presented the first round of the Teacher Education Standards Project (TESP) to the group. The TESP will be presented to the general public within the next two weeks. Besides being open for comments immediately, at the Alliance’s conference in Tucson, June 7-9, it will be a major agenda item with time for comments and discussion.</p> <p>The value and benefits of programmatic accreditation for the profession, as well as for schools and students, were discussed. In the context of observed wide variation in the quality of massage instructional programs, discussion ensued about the potential that more widespread programmatic accreditation could offer as a lever for improving the overall quality of entry-level education. Comparisons were drawn to other education and health care fields where programmatic accreditation is the accepted norm.</p> <p>The Massage Therapy Foundation talked about their upcoming conference (April 27-29, 2013), improving research literacy capacity, and other projects. Ruth Werner illustrated with specific examples how new research findings are re-shaping understanding of the benefits of massage therapy and thereby the profession’s potential scope of practice.</p> <p>Agreement was reached on focusing on meta-communication, and interacting with other organizations on projects that may have overlap. The next meeting of the Leadership Summit is now scheduled to occur December 5-6, 2012 in Denver, with a scheduled phone meeting prior to that face-to-face meeting.</p> <p>Meeting Participants:</p> <p>ABMP: Bob Benson, Chairman; Les Sweeney, President</p> <p>AFMTE: Pete Whitridge, President; Su Bibik, Secretary/Treasurer</p> <p>AMTA: Cynthia Ribiero, President;

There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }

What does that mean and how does it help massage therapy? According to Wikipedia, “Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.&#8221;</p> <p>Online journals that are not open access generally charge for each article to be seen in its entirety. For example, if you are looking for a study on osteoarthritis and massage therapy in <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov" target="_blank">PubMed</a> you will find at least one free article, but you will also find articles that you need to pay for, generally as much as $35 per download. So you can see why some research never reaches those who would otherwise be able to use it in their practice or to make decisions about their health.</p> <p>The IJTMB is a no-fee open access journal. This means that the author is not paid for submitting an article, nor required to pay the journal for publishing an article. It also means that the reader is not required to pay for reading or downloading the full article. The huge advantage here is that the work is available to everyone, everywhere without the need for a journal subscription or a university library subscription. This benefits the researcher by getting her or his work out to the masses; it benefits other researchers who are researching the same or similar topic; it benefits the public (reader, student, teacher, client) because they have easy access to information that is important to them, no matter the reason; and it benefits the tax payer because many studies are funded by tax payer money &#8211; this way they don’t have to pay twice to read the article.</p> <p>Beware that not all open access journals are equal. There have been stories recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education about some journals that are “predatory.” That is, they don’t follow customary scholarly procedures in publishing articles, and their focus is on profit rather than academic scholarship. Be assured that the IJTMB follows all of the rigorous procedures for peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>As a peer-reviewed open access journal, the IJTMB provides high quality research studies and educational articles to help the massage therapist stay abreast of research in the field so they can use research to maintain evidence-informed practices.</p> <p>You can read the most recent issue of IJTMB, and subscribe to receive notification of future issues, at <a href="http://www.ijtmb.org" target="_blank">www.ijtmb.org</a>.</p> <img

Along with <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/meet-ann-blair-kennedy-mtf-trustee/">Ann Blair Kennedy</a>, Dolly joined the MTF board on March 1, 2012. She is the American Massage Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Board representative to the MTF, as AMTA is the Foundation’s Sustaining Benefactor. Dolly resides in Muskegon, Michigan, where she practices massage therapy full time. Below are her answers to four questions I asked her about her involvement with the MTF.</p> <div id="attachment_2353" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353" title="MTF Trustee Dolly Wallace on vacation with her husband" src="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dolly on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, with her husband John</p></div> <p><strong>How did you first hear about the Massage Therapy Foundation?</strong></p> <p><em>I first heard about MTF through AMTA publications in the early 1990&#8242;s.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Explain how you first got involved with the Foundation and the progression to Trustee/volunteer.</strong></p> <p><em>I became involved when I served on the AMTA National Board of Directors 1996-1999. At that time, we were the mirror board for the Foundation. During those years I learned a tremendous amount about the Foundation; its purpose, its goals, its needs, its values and the impact of research on our profession. I was so impressed that I made a five year commitment to contribute financially as an individual donor. Needless to say, those five years have come and gone and I continue to donate annually. It is my belief that without the financial support from our massage community the Foundation would be unable to do the work it does.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>How has the Foundation impacted you as a professional?</strong></p> <p><em>As a practitioner, the Foundation offers me numerous resources to help educate my clients as well as myself. Whether we are talking to our clients, our colleagues or those in other health care fields, it is comforting to know the MTF offers us access to tools and research data that substantiate and support what we do.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What would you like others to know about the MTF?</strong></p> <p><em>I would like others to know that resources are at our fingertips and encourage everyone to visit the MTF web site and take advantage of its offerings.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about all of the MTF Trustees, <a

Organizations represented were Alliance for Massage Therapy Education (AFMTE); American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA); Associated Bodywork &amp; Massage Professionals (ABMP); Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA); Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB); Massage Therapy Foundation (MTF); and National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). Participating representatives of each organization are listed at the end of this release.</p> <p>The group’s purpose, to come together to address the previously identified concerns of the profession and explore how to collaborate in that work, laid the foundation for the conversation.</p> <p>The issues identified at the first meeting were revisited and each organization updated the group on its individual focus and projects. The highest priorities included: Portability, Consistency of Practice Standards, Entry Level Education, Continuing Education, Discipline/Licensure (Safety/Public Protection), and Certification.</p> <p>A collaborative discussion followed with the goal of discerning if whether what is being done in each area is serving the industry adequately and how the organizations can support and collaborate with one another to achieve a successful outcome. The group agreed that, even since the St. Louis meeting eight months prior, actions by individual organizations have helped constructively clarify roles. That positive progress is tempered by recognition that much important work remains to address acknowledged deficits and advance the massage therapy profession.</p> <p>An ongoing discussion of the Entry-Level Analysis Project (ELAP) occurred and input from the leadership organizations was discussed. Previous projects regarding entry level standards will be reviewed and considered as part of the background for this project. After input from the leadership group, an updated project description will be made public later in May.</p> <p>A key component to the success of this project will be broad input by the massage profession. This opportunity will be available via a companion survey (administered in conjunction with FSMTB’s Job Task Analysis) that is intended to be circulating in June 2012. Please watch for details and take advantage of the opportunity to continue to shape the profession. Both FSMTB and the group of organization leaders would like input from as many practicing massage therapists as possible for the most accurate research.</p> <p>Pete Whitridge (AFMTE) presented the first round of the Teacher Education Standards Project (TESP) to the group. The TESP will be presented to the general public within the next two weeks. Besides being open for comments immediately, at the Alliance’s conference in Tucson, June 7-9, it will be a major agenda item with time for comments and discussion.</p> <p>The value and benefits of programmatic accreditation for the profession, as well as for schools and students, were discussed. In the context of observed wide variation in the quality of massage instructional programs, discussion ensued about the potential that more widespread programmatic accreditation could offer as a lever for improving the overall quality of entry-level education. Comparisons were drawn to other education and health care fields where programmatic accreditation is the accepted norm.</p> <p>The Massage Therapy Foundation talked about their upcoming conference (April 27-29, 2013), improving research literacy capacity, and other projects. Ruth Werner illustrated with specific examples how new research findings are re-shaping understanding of the benefits of massage therapy and thereby the profession’s potential scope of practice.</p> <p>Agreement was reached on focusing on meta-communication, and interacting with other organizations on projects that may have overlap. The next meeting of the Leadership Summit is now scheduled to occur December 5-6, 2012 in Denver, with a scheduled phone meeting prior to that face-to-face meeting.</p> <p>Meeting Participants:</p> <p>ABMP: Bob Benson, Chairman; Les Sweeney, President</p> <p>AFMTE: Pete Whitridge, President; Su Bibik, Secretary/Treasurer</p> <p>AMTA: Cynthia Ribiero, President;

The more experience I gain as a massage therapist, the more I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. I’m not just thinking of communication between clients and therapists. There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }

What does that mean and how does it help massage therapy? According to Wikipedia, “Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.&#8221;</p> <p>Online journals that are not open access generally charge for each article to be seen in its entirety. For example, if you are looking for a study on osteoarthritis and massage therapy in <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov" target="_blank">PubMed</a> you will find at least one free article, but you will also find articles that you need to pay for, generally as much as $35 per download. So you can see why some research never reaches those who would otherwise be able to use it in their practice or to make decisions about their health.</p> <p>The IJTMB is a no-fee open access journal. This means that the author is not paid for submitting an article, nor required to pay the journal for publishing an article. It also means that the reader is not required to pay for reading or downloading the full article. The huge advantage here is that the work is available to everyone, everywhere without the need for a journal subscription or a university library subscription. This benefits the researcher by getting her or his work out to the masses; it benefits other researchers who are researching the same or similar topic; it benefits the public (reader, student, teacher, client) because they have easy access to information that is important to them, no matter the reason; and it benefits the tax payer because many studies are funded by tax payer money &#8211; this way they don’t have to pay twice to read the article.</p> <p>Beware that not all open access journals are equal. There have been stories recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education about some journals that are “predatory.” That is, they don’t follow customary scholarly procedures in publishing articles, and their focus is on profit rather than academic scholarship. Be assured that the IJTMB follows all of the rigorous procedures for peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>As a peer-reviewed open access journal, the IJTMB provides high quality research studies and educational articles to help the massage therapist stay abreast of research in the field so they can use research to maintain evidence-informed practices.</p> <p>You can read the most recent issue of IJTMB, and subscribe to receive notification of future issues, at <a href="http://www.ijtmb.org" target="_blank">www.ijtmb.org</a>.</p> <img

Along with <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/meet-ann-blair-kennedy-mtf-trustee/">Ann Blair Kennedy</a>, Dolly joined the MTF board on March 1, 2012. She is the American Massage Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Board representative to the MTF, as AMTA is the Foundation’s Sustaining Benefactor. Dolly resides in Muskegon, Michigan, where she practices massage therapy full time. Below are her answers to four questions I asked her about her involvement with the MTF.</p> <div id="attachment_2353" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353" title="MTF Trustee Dolly Wallace on vacation with her husband" src="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dolly on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, with her husband John</p></div> <p><strong>How did you first hear about the Massage Therapy Foundation?</strong></p> <p><em>I first heard about MTF through AMTA publications in the early 1990&#8242;s.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Explain how you first got involved with the Foundation and the progression to Trustee/volunteer.</strong></p> <p><em>I became involved when I served on the AMTA National Board of Directors 1996-1999. At that time, we were the mirror board for the Foundation. During those years I learned a tremendous amount about the Foundation; its purpose, its goals, its needs, its values and the impact of research on our profession. I was so impressed that I made a five year commitment to contribute financially as an individual donor. Needless to say, those five years have come and gone and I continue to donate annually. It is my belief that without the financial support from our massage community the Foundation would be unable to do the work it does.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>How has the Foundation impacted you as a professional?</strong></p> <p><em>As a practitioner, the Foundation offers me numerous resources to help educate my clients as well as myself. Whether we are talking to our clients, our colleagues or those in other health care fields, it is comforting to know the MTF offers us access to tools and research data that substantiate and support what we do.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What would you like others to know about the MTF?</strong></p> <p><em>I would like others to know that resources are at our fingertips and encourage everyone to visit the MTF web site and take advantage of its offerings.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about all of the MTF Trustees, <a

I love it that therapists have a way to access our homeless, our frail elders, our disabled, and others whose lives are uplifted by the gift of touch. I encourage you to take a peek at the Foundation’s <a title="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/community-service/community-service-resources/" href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/community-service/community-service-resources/">web page</a> for stories about grant funded projects. They have quite a story to tell!</p> <p>Since my own work with <a title="http://www.compassionate-touch.org/" href="http://www.compassionate-touch.org/">Compassionate Touch</a> is focused on teaching therapists about serving people in nursing homes and hospice, this part of the Foundation’s work resonates with my own mission and values. I feel good knowing that the Foundation will pay-it-forward in grand fashion and want to say thanks!</p> <p>- Ann Catlin Founder/ Director Center for Compassionate Touch LLC</p> <img

I encourage you to take a peek at the Foundation’s <a title="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/community-service/community-service-resources/" href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/community-service/community-service-resources/">web page</a> for stories about grant funded projects. They have quite a story to tell!</p> <p>Since my own work with <a title="http://www.compassionate-touch.org/" href="http://www.compassionate-touch.org/">Compassionate Touch</a> is focused on teaching therapists about serving people in nursing homes and hospice, this part of the Foundation’s work resonates with my own mission and values. I feel good knowing that the Foundation will pay-it-forward in grand fashion and want to say thanks!</p> <p>- Ann Catlin Founder/ Director Center for Compassionate Touch LLC</p> <img

Organizations represented were Alliance for Massage Therapy Education (AFMTE); American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA); Associated Bodywork &amp; Massage Professionals (ABMP); Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA); Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB); Massage Therapy Foundation (MTF); and National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). Participating representatives of each organization are listed at the end of this release.</p> <p>The group’s purpose, to come together to address the previously identified concerns of the profession and explore how to collaborate in that work, laid the foundation for the conversation.</p> <p>The issues identified at the first meeting were revisited and each organization updated the group on its individual focus and projects. The highest priorities included: Portability, Consistency of Practice Standards, Entry Level Education, Continuing Education, Discipline/Licensure (Safety/Public Protection), and Certification.</p> <p>A collaborative discussion followed with the goal of discerning if whether what is being done in each area is serving the industry adequately and how the organizations can support and collaborate with one another to achieve a successful outcome. The group agreed that, even since the St. Louis meeting eight months prior, actions by individual organizations have helped constructively clarify roles. That positive progress is tempered by recognition that much important work remains to address acknowledged deficits and advance the massage therapy profession.</p> <p>An ongoing discussion of the Entry-Level Analysis Project (ELAP) occurred and input from the leadership organizations was discussed. Previous projects regarding entry level standards will be reviewed and considered as part of the background for this project. After input from the leadership group, an updated project description will be made public later in May.</p> <p>A key component to the success of this project will be broad input by the massage profession. This opportunity will be available via a companion survey (administered in conjunction with FSMTB’s Job Task Analysis) that is intended to be circulating in June 2012. Please watch for details and take advantage of the opportunity to continue to shape the profession. Both FSMTB and the group of organization leaders would like input from as many practicing massage therapists as possible for the most accurate research.</p> <p>Pete Whitridge (AFMTE) presented the first round of the Teacher Education Standards Project (TESP) to the group. The TESP will be presented to the general public within the next two weeks. Besides being open for comments immediately, at the Alliance’s conference in Tucson, June 7-9, it will be a major agenda item with time for comments and discussion.</p> <p>The value and benefits of programmatic accreditation for the profession, as well as for schools and students, were discussed. In the context of observed wide variation in the quality of massage instructional programs, discussion ensued about the potential that more widespread programmatic accreditation could offer as a lever for improving the overall quality of entry-level education. Comparisons were drawn to other education and health care fields where programmatic accreditation is the accepted norm.</p> <p>The Massage Therapy Foundation talked about their upcoming conference (April 27-29, 2013), improving research literacy capacity, and other projects. Ruth Werner illustrated with specific examples how new research findings are re-shaping understanding of the benefits of massage therapy and thereby the profession’s potential scope of practice.</p> <p>Agreement was reached on focusing on meta-communication, and interacting with other organizations on projects that may have overlap. The next meeting of the Leadership Summit is now scheduled to occur December 5-6, 2012 in Denver, with a scheduled phone meeting prior to that face-to-face meeting.</p> <p>Meeting Participants:</p> <p>ABMP: Bob Benson, Chairman; Les Sweeney, President</p> <p>AFMTE: Pete Whitridge, President; Su Bibik, Secretary/Treasurer</p> <p>AMTA: Cynthia Ribiero, President; Shelly Johnson, Executive Director</p> <p>COMTA: Randy Swenson, Chair; Kate Zulaski, Executive Director</p> <p>FSMTB: Kathy Jensen, President; Debra Persinger, Executive Director</p> <p>MTF: Ruth Werner, President</p> <p>NCBTMB: Alexa Zaledonis, Chair; Mike Williams, CEO</p> <p>For further information, contact the press representatives of the organization listed in this release.</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/wauj2EHVz2c" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } } } } ["http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"]=> array(1) { ["commentRss"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(6) { ["data"]=> string(116) "http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/leadership-summit-in-chicago-addresses-concerns-of-the-profession/feed/" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } } } } ["http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"]=> array(1) { ["comments"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(6) { ["data"]=> string(1) "0" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } } } } ["http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0"]=> array(1) { ["origLink"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(6) { ["data"]=> string(111) "http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/leadership-summit-in-chicago-addresses-concerns-of-the-profession/" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } } } } } } [2]=> array(7) { ["data"]=> string(44) " " ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } ["child"]=> array(6) { [""]=> array(7) { ["title"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(6) { ["data"]=> string(92) "A Little Nudge to Massage Therapists to Write a Case Report – Download a free eBook today!"

The more experience I gain as a massage therapist, the more I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. I’m not just thinking of communication between clients and therapists. There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }

What does that mean and how does it help massage therapy? According to Wikipedia, “Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.&#8221;</p> <p>Online journals that are not open access generally charge for each article to be seen in its entirety. For example, if you are looking for a study on osteoarthritis and massage therapy in <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov" target="_blank">PubMed</a> you will find at least one free article, but you will also find articles that you need to pay for, generally as much as $35 per download. So you can see why some research never reaches those who would otherwise be able to use it in their practice or to make decisions about their health.</p> <p>The IJTMB is a no-fee open access journal. This means that the author is not paid for submitting an article, nor required to pay the journal for publishing an article. It also means that the reader is not required to pay for reading or downloading the full article. The huge advantage here is that the work is available to everyone, everywhere without the need for a journal subscription or a university library subscription. This benefits the researcher by getting her or his work out to the masses; it benefits other researchers who are researching the same or similar topic; it benefits the public (reader, student, teacher, client) because they have easy access to information that is important to them, no matter the reason; and it benefits the tax payer because many studies are funded by tax payer money &#8211; this way they don’t have to pay twice to read the article.</p> <p>Beware that not all open access journals are equal. There have been stories recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education about some journals that are “predatory.” That is, they don’t follow customary scholarly procedures in publishing articles, and their focus is on profit rather than academic scholarship. Be assured that the IJTMB follows all of the rigorous procedures for peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>As a peer-reviewed open access journal, the IJTMB provides high quality research studies and educational articles to help the massage therapist stay abreast of research in the field so they can use research to maintain evidence-informed practices.</p> <p>You can read the most recent issue of IJTMB, and subscribe to receive notification of future issues, at <a href="http://www.ijtmb.org" target="_blank">www.ijtmb.org</a>.</p> <img

Along with <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/meet-ann-blair-kennedy-mtf-trustee/">Ann Blair Kennedy</a>, Dolly joined the MTF board on March 1, 2012. She is the American Massage Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Board representative to the MTF, as AMTA is the Foundation’s Sustaining Benefactor. Dolly resides in Muskegon, Michigan, where she practices massage therapy full time. Below are her answers to four questions I asked her about her involvement with the MTF.</p> <div id="attachment_2353" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353" title="MTF Trustee Dolly Wallace on vacation with her husband" src="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dolly on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, with her husband John</p></div> <p><strong>How did you first hear about the Massage Therapy Foundation?</strong></p> <p><em>I first heard about MTF through AMTA publications in the early 1990&#8242;s.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Explain how you first got involved with the Foundation and the progression to Trustee/volunteer.</strong></p> <p><em>I became involved when I served on the AMTA National Board of Directors 1996-1999. At that time, we were the mirror board for the Foundation. During those years I learned a tremendous amount about the Foundation; its purpose, its goals, its needs, its values and the impact of research on our profession. I was so impressed that I made a five year commitment to contribute financially as an individual donor. Needless to say, those five years have come and gone and I continue to donate annually. It is my belief that without the financial support from our massage community the Foundation would be unable to do the work it does.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>How has the Foundation impacted you as a professional?</strong></p> <p><em>As a practitioner, the Foundation offers me numerous resources to help educate my clients as well as myself. Whether we are talking to our clients, our colleagues or those in other health care fields, it is comforting to know the MTF offers us access to tools and research data that substantiate and support what we do.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What would you like others to know about the MTF?</strong></p> <p><em>I would like others to know that resources are at our fingertips and encourage everyone to visit the MTF web site and take advantage of its offerings.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about all of the MTF Trustees, <a

Organizations represented were Alliance for Massage Therapy Education (AFMTE); American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA); Associated Bodywork &amp; Massage Professionals (ABMP); Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA); Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB); Massage Therapy Foundation (MTF); and National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). Participating representatives of each organization are listed at the end of this release.</p> <p>The group’s purpose, to come together to address the previously identified concerns of the profession and explore how to collaborate in that work, laid the foundation for the conversation.</p> <p>The issues identified at the first meeting were revisited and each organization updated the group on its individual focus and projects. The highest priorities included: Portability, Consistency of Practice Standards, Entry Level Education, Continuing Education, Discipline/Licensure (Safety/Public Protection), and Certification.</p> <p>A collaborative discussion followed with the goal of discerning if whether what is being done in each area is serving the industry adequately and how the organizations can support and collaborate with one another to achieve a successful outcome. The group agreed that, even since the St. Louis meeting eight months prior, actions by individual organizations have helped constructively clarify roles. That positive progress is tempered by recognition that much important work remains to address acknowledged deficits and advance the massage therapy profession.</p> <p>An ongoing discussion of the Entry-Level Analysis Project (ELAP) occurred and input from the leadership organizations was discussed. Previous projects regarding entry level standards will be reviewed and considered as part of the background for this project. After input from the leadership group, an updated project description will be made public later in May.</p> <p>A key component to the success of this project will be broad input by the massage profession. This opportunity will be available via a companion survey (administered in conjunction with FSMTB’s Job Task Analysis) that is intended to be circulating in June 2012. Please watch for details and take advantage of the opportunity to continue to shape the profession. Both FSMTB and the group of organization leaders would like input from as many practicing massage therapists as possible for the most accurate research.</p> <p>Pete Whitridge (AFMTE) presented the first round of the Teacher Education Standards Project (TESP) to the group. The TESP will be presented to the general public within the next two weeks. Besides being open for comments immediately, at the Alliance’s conference in Tucson, June 7-9, it will be a major agenda item with time for comments and discussion.</p> <p>The value and benefits of programmatic accreditation for the profession, as well as for schools and students, were discussed. In the context of observed wide variation in the quality of massage instructional programs, discussion ensued about the potential that more widespread programmatic accreditation could offer as a lever for improving the overall quality of entry-level education. Comparisons were drawn to other education and health care fields where programmatic accreditation is the accepted norm.</p> <p>The Massage Therapy Foundation talked about their upcoming conference (April 27-29, 2013), improving research literacy capacity, and other projects. Ruth Werner illustrated with specific examples how new research findings are re-shaping understanding of the benefits of massage therapy and thereby the profession’s potential scope of practice.</p> <p>Agreement was reached on focusing on meta-communication, and interacting with other organizations on projects that may have overlap.

The more experience I gain as a massage therapist, the more I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. I’m not just thinking of communication between clients and therapists. There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }

According to Wikipedia, “Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.&#8221;</p> <p>Online journals that are not open access generally charge for each article to be seen in its entirety. For example, if you are looking for a study on osteoarthritis and massage therapy in <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov" target="_blank">PubMed</a> you will find at least one free article, but you will also find articles that you need to pay for, generally as much as $35 per download. So you can see why some research never reaches those who would otherwise be able to use it in their practice or to make decisions about their health.</p> <p>The IJTMB is a no-fee open access journal. This means that the author is not paid for submitting an article, nor required to pay the journal for publishing an article. It also means that the reader is not required to pay for reading or downloading the full article. The huge advantage here is that the work is available to everyone, everywhere without the need for a journal subscription or a university library subscription. This benefits the researcher by getting her or his work out to the masses; it benefits other researchers who are researching the same or similar topic; it benefits the public (reader, student, teacher, client) because they have easy access to information that is important to them, no matter the reason; and it benefits the tax payer because many studies are funded by tax payer money &#8211; this way they don’t have to pay twice to read the article.</p> <p>Beware that not all open access journals are equal. There have been stories recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education about some journals that are “predatory.” That is, they don’t follow customary scholarly procedures in publishing articles, and their focus is on profit rather than academic scholarship. Be assured that the IJTMB follows all of the rigorous procedures for peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>As a peer-reviewed open access journal, the IJTMB provides high quality research studies and educational articles to help the massage therapist stay abreast of research in the field so they can use research to maintain evidence-informed practices.</p> <p>You can read the most recent issue of

Along with <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/meet-ann-blair-kennedy-mtf-trustee/">Ann Blair Kennedy</a>, Dolly joined the MTF board on March 1, 2012. She is the American Massage Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Board representative to the MTF, as AMTA is the Foundation’s Sustaining Benefactor. Dolly resides in Muskegon, Michigan, where she practices massage therapy full time. Below are her answers to four questions I asked her about her involvement with the MTF.</p> <div id="attachment_2353" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353" title="MTF Trustee Dolly Wallace on vacation with her husband" src="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dolly on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, with her husband John</p></div> <p><strong>How did you first hear about the Massage Therapy Foundation?</strong></p> <p><em>I first heard about MTF through AMTA publications in the early 1990&#8242;s.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Explain how you first got involved with the Foundation and the progression to Trustee/volunteer.</strong></p> <p><em>I became involved when I served on the AMTA National Board of Directors 1996-1999. At that time, we were the mirror board for the Foundation. During those years I learned a tremendous amount about the Foundation; its purpose, its goals, its needs, its values and the impact of research on our profession. I was so impressed that I made a five year commitment to contribute financially as an individual donor. Needless to say, those five years have come and gone and I continue to donate annually. It is my belief that without the financial support from our massage community the Foundation would be unable to do the work it does.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>How has the Foundation impacted you as a professional?</strong></p> <p><em>As a practitioner, the Foundation offers me numerous resources to help educate my clients as well as myself. Whether we are talking to our clients, our colleagues or those in other health care fields, it is comforting to know the MTF offers us access to tools and research data that substantiate and support what we do.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What would you like others to know about the MTF?</strong></p> <p><em>I would like others to know that resources are at our fingertips and encourage everyone to visit the MTF web site and take advantage of its offerings.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about all of the MTF Trustees, <a

I love it that therapists have a way to access our homeless, our frail elders, our disabled, and others whose lives are uplifted by the gift of touch.

Organizations represented were Alliance for Massage Therapy Education (AFMTE); American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA); Associated Bodywork &amp; Massage Professionals (ABMP); Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA); Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB); Massage Therapy Foundation (MTF); and National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). Participating representatives of each organization are listed at the end of this release.</p> <p>The group’s purpose, to come together to address the previously identified concerns of the profession and explore how to collaborate in that work, laid the foundation for the conversation.</p> <p>The issues identified at the first meeting were revisited and each organization updated the group on its individual focus and projects. The highest priorities included: Portability, Consistency of Practice Standards, Entry Level Education, Continuing Education, Discipline/Licensure (Safety/Public Protection), and Certification.</p> <p>A collaborative discussion followed with the goal of discerning if whether what is being done in each area is serving the industry adequately and how the organizations can support and collaborate with one another to achieve a successful outcome. The group agreed that, even since the St. Louis meeting eight months prior, actions by individual organizations have helped constructively clarify roles. That positive progress is tempered by recognition that much important work remains to address acknowledged deficits and advance the massage therapy profession.</p> <p>An ongoing discussion of the Entry-Level Analysis Project (ELAP) occurred and input from the leadership organizations was discussed. Previous projects regarding entry level standards will be reviewed and considered as part of the background for this project. After input from the leadership group, an updated project description will be made public later in May.</p> <p>A key component to the success of this project will be broad input by the massage profession. This opportunity will be available via a companion survey (administered in conjunction with FSMTB’s Job Task Analysis) that is intended to be circulating in June 2012. Please watch for details and take advantage of the opportunity to continue to shape the profession. Both FSMTB and the group of organization leaders would like input from as many practicing massage therapists as possible for the most accurate research.</p> <p>Pete Whitridge (AFMTE) presented the first round of the Teacher Education Standards Project (TESP) to the group. The TESP will be presented to the general public within the next two weeks. Besides being open for comments immediately, at the Alliance’s conference in Tucson, June 7-9, it will be a major agenda item with time for comments and discussion.</p> <p>The value and benefits of programmatic accreditation for the profession, as well as for schools and students, were discussed. In the context of observed wide variation in the quality of massage instructional programs, discussion ensued about the potential that more widespread programmatic accreditation could offer as a lever for improving the overall quality of entry-level education. Comparisons were drawn to other education and health care fields where programmatic accreditation is the accepted norm.</p> <p>The Massage Therapy Foundation talked about their upcoming conference (April 27-29, 2013), improving research literacy capacity, and other projects. Ruth Werner illustrated with specific examples how new research findings are re-shaping understanding of the benefits of massage therapy and thereby the profession’s potential scope of practice.</p> <p>Agreement was reached on focusing on meta-communication, and interacting with other organizations on projects that may have overlap. The next meeting of the Leadership Summit is now scheduled to occur December 5-6, 2012 in Denver, with a scheduled phone meeting prior to that face-to-face meeting.</p> <p>Meeting Participants:</p> <p>ABMP: Bob Benson, Chairman; Les Sweeney, President</p> <p>AFMTE: Pete Whitridge, President; Su Bibik, Secretary/Treasurer</p> <p>AMTA: Cynthia Ribiero, President;

The more experience I gain as a massage therapist, the more I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. I’m not just thinking of communication between clients and therapists. There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }

What does that mean and how does it help massage therapy? According to Wikipedia, “Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.&#8221;</p> <p>Online journals that are not open access generally charge for each article to be seen in its entirety. For example, if you are looking for a study on osteoarthritis and massage therapy in <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov" target="_blank">PubMed</a> you will find at least one free article, but you will also find articles that you need to pay for, generally as much as $35 per download. So you can see why some research never reaches those who would otherwise be able to use it in their practice or to make decisions about their health.</p> <p>The IJTMB is a no-fee open access journal. This means that the author is not paid for submitting an article, nor required to pay the journal for publishing an article. It also means that the reader is not required to pay for reading or downloading the full article. The huge advantage here is that the work is available to everyone, everywhere without the need for a journal subscription or a university library subscription. This benefits the researcher by getting her or his work out to the masses; it benefits other researchers who are researching the same or similar topic; it benefits the public (reader, student, teacher, client) because they have easy access to information that is important to them, no matter the reason; and it benefits the tax payer because many studies are funded by tax payer money &#8211; this way they don’t have to pay twice to read the article.</p> <p>Beware that not all open access journals are equal. There have been stories recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education about some journals that are “predatory.” That is, they don’t follow customary scholarly procedures in publishing articles, and their focus is on profit rather than academic scholarship. Be assured that the IJTMB follows all of the rigorous procedures for peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>As a peer-reviewed open access journal, the IJTMB provides high quality research studies and educational articles to help the massage therapist stay abreast of research in the field so they can use research to maintain evidence-informed practices.</p> <p>You can read the most recent issue of IJTMB, and subscribe to receive notification of future issues, at <a href="http://www.ijtmb.org" target="_blank">www.ijtmb.org</a>.</p> <img

Along with <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/meet-ann-blair-kennedy-mtf-trustee/">Ann Blair Kennedy</a>, Dolly joined the MTF board on March 1, 2012. She is the American Massage Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Board representative to the MTF, as AMTA is the Foundation’s Sustaining Benefactor. Dolly resides in Muskegon, Michigan, where she practices massage therapy full time. Below are her answers to four questions I asked her about her involvement with the MTF.</p> <div id="attachment_2353" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353" title="MTF Trustee Dolly Wallace on vacation with her husband" src="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dolly on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, with her husband John</p></div> <p><strong>How did you first hear about the Massage Therapy Foundation?</strong></p> <p><em>I first heard about MTF through AMTA publications in the early 1990&#8242;s.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Explain how you first got involved with the Foundation and the progression to Trustee/volunteer.</strong></p> <p><em>I became involved when I served on the AMTA National Board of Directors 1996-1999. At that time, we were the mirror board for the Foundation. During those years I learned a tremendous amount about the Foundation; its purpose, its goals, its needs, its values and the impact of research on our profession. I was so impressed that I made a five year commitment to contribute financially as an individual donor. Needless to say, those five years have come and gone and I continue to donate annually. It is my belief that without the financial support from our massage community the Foundation would be unable to do the work it does.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>How has the Foundation impacted you as a professional?</strong></p> <p><em>As a practitioner, the Foundation offers me numerous resources to help educate my clients as well as myself. Whether we are talking to our clients, our colleagues or those in other health care fields, it is comforting to know the MTF offers us access to tools and research data that substantiate and support what we do.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What would you like others to know about the MTF?</strong></p> <p><em>I would like others to know that resources are at our fingertips and encourage everyone to visit the MTF web site and take advantage of its offerings.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about all of the MTF Trustees, <a

Organizations represented were Alliance for Massage Therapy Education (AFMTE); American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA); Associated Bodywork &amp; Massage Professionals (ABMP); Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA); Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB); Massage Therapy Foundation (MTF); and National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). Participating representatives of each organization are listed at the end of this release.</p> <p>The group’s purpose, to come together to address the previously identified concerns of the profession and explore how to collaborate in that work, laid the foundation for the conversation.</p> <p>The issues identified at the first meeting were revisited and each organization updated the group on its individual focus and projects. The highest priorities included: Portability, Consistency of Practice Standards, Entry Level Education, Continuing Education, Discipline/Licensure (Safety/Public Protection), and Certification.</p> <p>A collaborative discussion followed with the goal of discerning if whether what is being done in each area is serving the industry adequately and how the organizations can support and collaborate with one another to achieve a successful outcome. The group agreed that, even since the St. Louis meeting eight months prior, actions by individual organizations have helped constructively clarify roles. That positive progress is tempered by recognition that much important work remains to address acknowledged deficits and advance the massage therapy profession.</p> <p>An ongoing discussion of the Entry-Level Analysis Project (ELAP) occurred and input from the leadership organizations was discussed. Previous projects regarding entry level standards will be reviewed and considered as part of the background for this project. After input from the leadership group, an updated project description will be made public later in May.</p> <p>A key component to the success of this project will be broad input by the massage profession. This opportunity will be available via a companion survey (administered in conjunction with FSMTB’s Job Task Analysis) that is intended to be circulating in June 2012. Please watch for details and take advantage of the opportunity to continue to shape the profession. Both FSMTB and the group of organization leaders would like input from as many practicing massage therapists as possible for the most accurate research.</p> <p>Pete Whitridge (AFMTE) presented the first round of the Teacher Education Standards Project (TESP) to the group. The TESP will be presented to the general public within the next two weeks. Besides being open for comments immediately, at the Alliance’s conference in Tucson, June 7-9, it will be a major agenda item with time for comments and discussion.</p> <p>The value and benefits of programmatic accreditation for the profession, as well as for schools and students, were discussed. In the context of observed wide variation in the quality of massage instructional programs, discussion ensued about the potential that more widespread programmatic accreditation could offer as a lever for improving the overall quality of entry-level education. Comparisons were drawn to other education and health care fields where programmatic accreditation is the accepted norm.</p> <p>The Massage Therapy Foundation talked about their upcoming conference (April 27-29, 2013), improving research literacy capacity, and other projects. Ruth Werner illustrated with specific examples how new research findings are re-shaping understanding of the benefits of massage therapy and thereby the profession’s potential scope of practice.</p> <p>Agreement was reached on focusing on meta-communication, and interacting with other organizations on projects that may have overlap. The next meeting of the Leadership Summit is now scheduled to occur December 5-6, 2012 in Denver, with a scheduled phone meeting prior to that face-to-face meeting.</p> <p>Meeting Participants:</p> <p>ABMP: Bob Benson, Chairman; Les Sweeney, President</p> <p>AFMTE: Pete Whitridge, President; Su Bibik, Secretary/Treasurer</p> <p>AMTA: Cynthia Ribiero, President; Shelly Johnson, Executive Director</p> <p>COMTA: Randy Swenson, Chair; Kate Zulaski, Executive Director</p> <p>FSMTB: Kathy Jensen, President; Debra Persinger, Executive Director</p> <p>MTF: Ruth Werner, President</p> <p>NCBTMB: Alexa Zaledonis, Chair; Mike Williams, CEO</p> <p>For further information, contact the press representatives of the organization listed in this release.</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/wauj2EHVz2c" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } } } } ["http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"]=> array(1) { ["commentRss"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(6) { ["data"]=> string(116) "http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/leadership-summit-in-chicago-addresses-concerns-of-the-profession/feed/" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } } } } ["http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"]=> array(1) { ["comments"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(6) { ["data"]=> string(1) "0" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } } } } ["http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0"]=> array(1) { ["origLink"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(6) { ["data"]=> string(111) "http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/leadership-summit-in-chicago-addresses-concerns-of-the-profession/" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } } } } } } [2]=> array(7) { ["data"]=> string(44) " " ["attribs"]=> array(0) { } ["xml_base"]=> string(0) "" ["xml_base_explicit"]=> bool(false) ["xml_lang"]=> string(0) "" ["xmlns"]=> array(8) { ["content"]=> string(40) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" ["wfw"]=> string(36) "http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" ["dc"]=> string(32) "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" ["atom"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" ["sy"]=> string(44) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" ["slash"]=> string(38) "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" ["feedburner"]=> string(42) "http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" ["atom10"]=> string(27) "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" } ["child"]=> array(6) { [""]=> array(7) { ["title"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(6) { ["data"]=> string(92) "A Little Nudge to Massage Therapists to Write a Case Report – Download a free eBook today!"

The more experience I gain as a massage therapist, the more I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. I’m not just thinking of communication between clients and therapists. There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }
