Mission Statement
The Massage Therapy Research Consortium advances massage therapy education and practice, and enhances public health, by collaboratively building research capacity in our schools, and by fostering partnerships with research scientists in our communities.
The Consortium acts as a network for participating schools, providing opportunities to learn, share experiences and expertise, and support the research endeavors of the schools. We also support participating schools by developing resources to support staff and student education, and to enhance schools' capacity to conduct research and to partner with outside researchers.
The consortium as a whole conducts small multi-site studies together and provides massage-related expertise to research partners.
