American Massage Therapy Association |
The roots of the American Massage Therapy Association date back to 1943 when a group of massage therapists formed a new association pledged to service and ethical practice. Since then, AMTA has grown into the oldest and largest international volunteer member-driven organization representing the profession, with close to 46,000 members in more than 30 countries which includes almost 1,000 members in Georgia.
The mission of the AMTA is to develop and advance the art, science, and practice of massage therapy in a caring, professional, and ethical manner in order to promote the health and welfare of humanity.
To serve its members, the public, and the profession, the AMTA pledges to:
- Establish massage therapy as integral to the maintenance of good health;
- Increase public awareness of the massage therapy profession;
- Promote high standards in providing massage therapy to the public;
- Increase access to quality massage therapy for all persons;
- Be an influential member of the healthcare community;
- Be a leader and a resource for issues in the field of massage therapy including definitions, practice and education standards, legislation, and regulation;
- Enhance the professional development and personal growth of members;
- Continue AMTA's growth, development, organizational effectiveness, and visibility.
In pursuit of the above goals, AMTA will be guided by the values of care and competency.
