The Massage Therapy Foundation (MTF) will be hosting its triennial International Massage Therapy Research Conference (IMTRC) May 12–15, 2016, at the Renaissance Seattle Hotel in Seattle, Washington.
This is the fourth research conference the MTF has hosted, and the attendance is expected to be between 300 and 400 people from across the United States and abroad.
The MTF is now accepting scientific abstract submissions—original massage therapy research that promotes the dissemination and discussion of new information in the following research categories: basic science, education, clinical, case studies, public health, and integration of massage therapy in various settings within the conference theme: Integrating Therapies for Pain.
Submissions may be in any of the aforementioned categories and are due by no later than December 14, 2015. The call for abstracts and further information about the conference itself may be found at www.massagetherapyfoundation.org.
IMTRC attendees at the 2016 conference will include massage and manual therapy practitioners, educators, researchers, and allied health professionals. Attendees will have the chance to attend a variety of presentations spotlighting the latest massage therapy scientific research.
MTF President, Jerrilyn Cambron, LMT, DC, MPH, PhD states, “The conference is an incredible opportunity for massage therapists and allied health-care providers to learn about new research findings that contribute to the massage therapy profession.”
IMTRC keynote speakers will be announced and registration will open in November. Visit www.massagetherapyfoundation.org for more information and updates leading up to the conference.
