Research Literacy Courses

The need for massage therapists to be research literate cannot be over-stated.

Recent articles in the LA Times and the New York Times emphasize the fact that the public is increasingly aware of —and interested in—what massage can do for them. The Massage Therapy Foundation offers two educational programs to address research literacy: “Teaching Research Literacy” and “Basics of Research Literacy.”

Teaching Research Literacy (TRL) is a traveling face-to-face workshop that the Massage Therapy Foundation is providing in partnership with Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP). This class is for educators who want to incorporate research literacy into their school’s curriculum. For more information, click here.

Basics of Research Literacy (BRL) is an online continuing education course for all massage practitioners and educators, offered in partnership with Education and Training Solutions. You can explore the basics of incorporating principles of research literacy into your practice or school curriculum at your own pace. For more information and to sign up for the class, click here.
