2025 International Massage Therapy Research Conference
Massage Therapy Foundation’s 2025 International Massage Therapy Research Conference (IMTRC) took place April 27-29, 2025, in Alexandria, Virginia. Held every three years, this important conference brings together massage therapy field leaders, clinicians, educators & researchers to discuss the practice implications & applications of current research. It provides attendees with the opportunity for attendees to earn CEs while learning the latest research, connecting with colleagues, and gaining insight into research-informed practice.
We are thankful to our speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, poster presenters, and attendees for making IMTRC 2025 an outstanding success! It is an honor to be a part of educating, inspiring, and bringing together those who have a hands on role in moving the profession forward!
