Neglecting very important topics

Overall the services and education Provided are good However there are things that are very important to massage therapists all across the nation that your organization either completely refuses to acknowledge or won't speak on. #1 human trafficking and it's impact on legitimate massage businesses #2 the interstate compact These things matter to us every single day. And AMTA doesn't address either subject Also the quality of the educators and classes at the 2024 convention were awful.

Response from American Massage Therapy Association· Feb 21, 2025

We agree that these topics are greatly concerning to the profession and AMTA has taken an active role in addressing them over the years. Since the IMpact was first drafted, AMTA has actively reviewed its provisions, participated in discussions about its effect on the profession, and expressed our concerns. We aim to improve professional mobility while addressing the needs of massage therapists and not sacrificing public safety. Our stance is shaped by member feedback and the broader needs of the massage therapy community, advocating for improved mobility without unnecessary barriers. You can find AMTA’s current position on IMpact here - https://www.amtamassage.org/about/news/interstate-compact2/ AMTA acknowledges that human trafficking is a very serious and horrible epidemic worldwide. It takes many forms including labor, domestic servitude, and commercial sex trafficking. AMTA condemns all forms of human trafficking and advocates on the State and Federal levels on behalf of the industry. Please visit https://www.amtamassage.org/advocacy/state-local-priorities/ to see State legislation supported by the American Massage Therapy Association. AMTA recognizes there are many opportunities to work in support of law enforcement, regulatory boards, district attorneys, legislators, massage therapy schools and our own members. We feel it is important to leave the work of fighting human trafficking and related criminal activity to the appropriate law enforcement, criminal prosecution agencies and organizations that are properly trained and equipped to handle these cases. AMTA is an available resource to provide education to the public and officials on what professional massage therapists do, our educational standards, and how to properly identify a trained and legitimate massage therapist. In regard to your experience at the AMTA 2024 National Convention, we’re sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy the educational sessions. Our attendees rated the courses at a 4.6/5, if you have specific concerns related to the education sessions please reach out directly to our Member Experience team.
