Crack open your thesauri because we are thrilled, delighted, exhilarated, enthralled, excited, thoroughly pumped and a teensy bit relieved to launch the program for the 2025 AMT Virtual Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s theme explores how interprofessional collaboration enhances patient outcomes while strengthening the visibility and credibility of the massage therapy profession. The program features keynote and plenary presentations, exercise snacks, a mindfulness meditation session, and a collaborative healthcare panel discussion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please browse the conference brochure<\/a> for detailed speaker bios and session descriptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virtual format ensures accessibility for practitioners across Australia and internationally. (Yes, that’s you – our substantial US and European audiences – now’s your chance to join a virtual conference at silly o’clock. But if you’re not keen on sitting at a screen, bleary-eyed at 4 in the morning, recordings will be available for registered attendees who cannot make it live.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our pre-conference interactive workshop, “The Shoulder Rehab Blueprint for Pain-Free Overhead Positions”, will be held on Sunday 12 October. The workshop takes a deep dive into shoulder dysfunction mechanics, challenging traditional approaches to impingement and bursitis by examining root causes including faulty ribcage positioning and compensatory movement patterns. The session will offer attendees an evidence-informed rehabilitation approach that integrates manual therapy with breathing drills and functional exercises for lasting results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a squiz at the workshop brochure<\/a> for more details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take advantage of our conference bundle discount when you register for both conference events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to register? It’s quick and easy via our online registration platform<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you in October!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
