AMTA's National Massage Therapy Awareness Week is designed to raise public awareness about the benefits of massage, attract media attention to nationwide activities being carried out by AMTA chapters, members, as well as AMTA school members, and to give all AMTA members an opportunity to demonstrate their profession and skill. Whether you are participating with your Chapter, with other AMTA members or on your own, every effort is equally important in promoting massage and the profession! Q: What is NMTAW and why is it important? A: National Massage Therapy Awareness Week was created by AMTA to raise public awareness of the benefits of therapeutic massage, attract media attention to nationwide activities being carried out by AMTA chapters, practitioner members and schools and to give members an opportunity to demonstrate their professionalism and skill. It is an excellent opportunity for AMTA members to demonstrate the importance of consumers choosing AMTA members because they are highly-qualified professionals who contribute to the heath and well-being of the public through massage. It is a wonderful opportunity for all AMTA members to connect across the country and demonstrate their skill Q: If my chapter does not have an activity planned for National Massage Therapy Awareness Week or I am unable to participate in the activities, can I participate on my own? A: Absolutely. As an AMTA member, you can participate with your chapter, celebrate NMTAW on your own or do both. Many members find it rewarding to join their chapter in events and connect with fellow members while also carrying out their own special NMTAW activities. Once you decide how you are going to participate in NMTAW this year, fill out a Member NMTAW Activity or Event form and send it to the national office. Q: What can I do to celebrate NMTAW? A: There are so many different ways you can celebrate NMTAW. You dont have to have a lot of resources or invest a lot of effort to make a difference. The great thing about NMTAW is that you can make it your own by customizing the week to what is important to you. All you have to do is decide how you want to participate. Chapters and schools have participated in NMTAW events including massage demonstrations and information on the benefits of massage at state capitals, post offices, homes for the elderly, and police and fire departments. Chapters have also advertised NMTAW on billboards and at community events. They have submitted gubernatorial or mayoral proclamations to officially designate it National Massage Therapy Awareness Week in their state or city. Members have used this week in many different ways. Some contacted their local libraries or community centers and held informational sessions on the benefits of massage while promoting their practice. Others used NMTAW to connect with their clientele by sending out postcards encouraging them to make an appointment and/or offering a discount for that week. While others did something as simple as putting a sign or banner outside their practice to advertise this special week. Q: Can I participate in more than one activity or event? A: Absolutely! There is no limit to how many activities or events you participate in during NMTAW. Other Helpful Items for NMTAW |
