Every year, my friend Andy and his partner host their Annual Christmas Picnic, inviting their friends and family and their writing group and others they happen to like. They end up with an eclectic bunch of lovely people. Our sole purpose for the afternoon is to eat, drink, eat some more and chat. Sometimes there\u2019s frisbee throwing or dog patting if we have the energy or the dog (or its master) is particularly cute. I was in my picnic chair, weighed down by heat and a food baby, clutching a cup of non-alcoholic punch while chatting away to another massage therapist \u2013 Andy\u2019s cousin.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to forget how nice it is to share a conversation with a fellow massage therapist, and attending the recent AMT Conference really brought that home.<\/p>\n<p>Massage therapy can be a lonely business. Sure, we\u2019re with people a lot. We talk with our friends and family, our clients and maybe our receptionist but there\u2019s nothing like discussing life with someone who really understands \u2013 another massage therapist.<\/p>\n<p>Only another massage therapist can understand:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The relentlessness of doing laundry (I\u2019m considering writing <em>An Ode To A Folded Towel<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li>The highs and lows of the appointment diary<\/li>\n<li>Managing no-shows<\/li>\n<li>Challenging clients<\/li>\n<li>Trying to earn a living wage<\/li>\n<li>The annoyance of getting sick and\/or injured<\/li>\n<li>Dealing with private health insurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Watching the conversations over lunch, at the pub and in the workshops during the AMT Conference got me thinking about the ways massage therapists connect with each other.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>The Rise and Rise of Social Media<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1173 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/smartphone-2123520_1280-300x161.jpg?resize=300%2C161\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/smartphone-2123520_1280.jpg?resize=300%2C161&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/smartphone-2123520_1280.jpg?resize=768%2C412&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/smartphone-2123520_1280.jpg?resize=1024%2C550&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/smartphone-2123520_1280.jpg?resize=750%2C403&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/smartphone-2123520_1280.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Okay, so it\u2019s 2018 and social media has stepped in to connect massage therapists to each other. Social media portals, such as Facebook and Twitter, open doors to work and learning opportunities, provide a community feel and give easy access to research and industry news.<\/p>\n<p>But social media brings problems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keyboard warriors<\/li>\n<li>Humour does not always translate on a flat screen<\/li>\n<li>Being targeted by salespeople making out they\u2019re our friends<\/li>\n<li>Proliferation of misinformation<\/li>\n<li>Proliferation of armchair experts<\/li>\n<li>Too many opinions to sift through.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Despite this, many friendships form via social media \u2013 I met Andy, host of the Annual Christmas Picnic, on Twitter \u2013 and even if you never meet in real life, it can feel like you\u2019ve known each other for years.<\/p>\n<p>Social media isn\u2019t for everyone, however, so what other options are there for massage therapists to \u201cfind their village\u201d?<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Branch Meetings<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1172 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/personal-9441_640-300x213.png?resize=300%2C213\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/personal-9441_640.png?resize=300%2C213&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/personal-9441_640.png?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>AMT supports local branch meetings, where massage therapists in a region can get together to discuss their work and listen to a presentation. These meetings provide a semi-formal way to network and learn. CEU points are available for attendance. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amt.org.au\/members\/regional-branches.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here are the details of the current branches<\/a>. If there\u2019s not one operating near you at the moment and you\u2019re keen to set one up, <a href=\"mailto:info@amt.org.au\">email Head Office<\/a> to help get you started.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Swap Massages<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>This seems kinda obvious. What better way to build up a network than swapping treatments with another massage therapist?<\/p>\n<p>At the 2016 AMT Conference, Derek Zorzit and Alan Ford discussed how they had been swapping massages with each other every week for many years. They built up quite the bromance that has become slightly strained now that Alan has moved 2000km away. The good news is that Derek has found a new swap buddy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Derek Zorzit and Alan Ford - Adventures in self care\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mFHdKIT7LE4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A friendship with your swap buddy isn\u2019t vital but making time to discuss not only our physical needs can help make a massage therapist feel less isolated and lonely.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Attend a Workshop\/Training Course<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>The rise of the online course has removed the fun of a face-to-face learning experience. Courses allow plenty of time for chat at break times. Other benefits include having someone to refer clients to (intra\/interstate, in another part of the town\/city or when taking holidays\/sick), establishing a swap buddy relationship, or just someone to bounce ideas off.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Attend a Conference<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1155\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/handshake-46200_1280-300x211.png?resize=300%2C211\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/handshake-46200_1280.png?resize=300%2C211&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/handshake-46200_1280.png?resize=768%2C540&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/handshake-46200_1280.png?resize=1024%2C720&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/handshake-46200_1280.png?resize=750%2C527&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/handshake-46200_1280.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Although I\u2019d heartily recommend attending the AMT conference, especially when it comes to a nearby location, there are other conferences that occur around Australia and internationally that massage therapists would benefit from and have the opportunity to mingle with other massage therapists. Some examples are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>San Diego Pain Summit<\/li>\n<li>Soft Tissue Therapy Congress<\/li>\n<li>International Fascia Research Congress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><strong>Back to My Picnic Chair<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Sometimes we meet massage therapists in social settings \u2013 weddings, partner\u2019s work do, the school gate, or at Darlene\u2019s 40th birthday bash. These can be simply an opportunity to say, \u2018How\u2019s business?\u2019 or \u2018Do you have any towel laundering tips?\u2019 or it may lead to a discussion on the Top 10 Most Common Questions Massage Therapists Get Asked.<\/p>\n<p>When we connect with other massage therapists, we feel part of a team, or part of a village. It doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re all alike but it can help us to realise we\u2019re not the only one who finds writing up treatment notes to be the least enjoyable part of the job (*cough* for example).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1176\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1176\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1176\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20181013_102440-225x300.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20181013_102440.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20181013_102440.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20181013_102440.jpg?resize=750%2C1000&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20181013_102440.jpg?resize=300%2C400&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20181013_102440.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.amt.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/20181013_102440.jpg?w=3000&amp;ssl=1 3000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1176\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Me and Andy&#8217;s cousin and fellow AMT Conference Attendee, Gayle.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Then, when you least expect it, a massage therapist in quite extraordinary tights will wander up to you at an AMT Conference and say they\u2019ll see you at Andy\u2019s Annual Christmas Picnic, and you might ask Andy\u2019s cousin what she\u2019s going to bring, because you were thinking of taking a quail egg, asparagus and fresh pea salad.
