Your $49 ticket includes access to the two part symposium, Q/A time with Dr. Moyer, lunch, light refreshments and the opportunity to network and meet with other massage therapists.
What is the current status of massage therapy research, and is it being used to meaningfully inform training and practice? In a two-part symposium, psychologist and massage therapy researcher Christopher A. Moyer, Ph.D., will first present objective data, combined with insights drawn from his own career, to examine these topics. After the luncheon, symposium attendees and Dr. Moyer will collaborate to identify goals that the U.S. massage therapy profession should pursue to further the integration of research and practice.
