Submit a Research Poster
Research Posters are a visual way to present research findings at a scientific or professional meeting.
Posters are an important way for massage therapists and researchers to share their expertise with other members of the profession. MTF Poster Sessions provide a showcase to share massage therapy research, create a forum for informal discussion of research, and to provide those in attendance with the opportunity to learn how research impacts the profession.
MTF Poster Sessions include posters from three categories: original research, programmatic evaluation, and clinical case presentations. Poster Session applicants should include research findings, photographs, charts and diagrams, accompanied by an abstract. Share you work and help inform and inspire other massage therapists!
