20 Years of RISE...
Research
Since its inception in 1993 the Massage Therapy
Foundation has funded 36 pilot research studies that
explore the science and practice of massage. This
has made a profound impact on the world of massage
therapy research.
Inspiration
You are our inspiration. Since 1992 you have donated
over $1,850,000 to our cause. Thank you for your
investment in our future.
Service
Since 1993, we have funded 65 Community Service
projects that bring the power of massage to people
in need. These projects have served a multitude of
populations, including seniors, children, those
living with HIV/AIDS, and the homeless. You have
helped to spread goodwill through the power of
touch.
Education
Through our case report contests, the International
Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork and the
“Teaching Research Literacy” program, we have helped
students and practitioners become more research
literate. Your thirst for knowledge is our driving
force.
