Massage Therapists want to help people, and part of our approach requires having a clear message of who we are and the value we offer. Adopting an evidence-based framework offers a solution, as it can provide a cohesive message of our nature and value.

This clinical practice resource is an essential resource for massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, medical doctors, psychologists and other health professionals who care for people with musculoskeletal pain.

This resource exists to facilitate interprofessional education and collaboration between massage therapists and health care teams. As the practice of massage therapy moves into mainstream medical care for a number of physical ailments, students and practicing massage therapists have an urgent need for a clinical resource that will be continuously updated as new research becomes available. The primary goal of this resource is to turn recent policy changes into actionable gains for the advancement of our profession globally, by:
‍
Identifying and describing key postulates and applications of an evidence-based framework.

Providing an overview of current research findings and their practical implications for massage therapists.

Fostering a culture of evidence-based practice by incorporating new scientific findings and methods into clinical practice.
