As some of you may have heard, the TV program called The View has made some defamatory statements about the massage profession on a recent episode. AMTA has responded with a letter to The View calling for a more respectful representation of massage therapy.
A video clip is available online which shows this particular segment of the show. I would encourage you to take a look if you are curious about what was said.
As AMTA-Indiana Chapter President, I want to make you aware of this incident so that you can remain informed about what is being said about the massage profession. If you are concerned about the inaccurate representation of the massage profession on this show, please consider sharing this message with your clients and colleagues and continuing to educate others about what massage therapy is. Unfortunately, massage therapists are still fighting to overcome antiquated stereotypes still being perpetuated by a few people who need further education on what massage therapy is.
Please share with this others... especially your clients and friends. I appreciate your willingness to speak up for the massage profession and fight the inaccurate and degrading stereotypes that we still see sometimes.
