FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BC’s Registered Massage Therapists Welcome the World Fascia Research Congress To Vancouver in 2012

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Massage Therapists’ Association of British Columbia (MTABC), we are pleased to welcome the 2012 World Fascia Research Congress to Vancouver.

“This announcement in Amsterdam, Netherlands today is a recognition of the excellence, quality and commitment of BC’s Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs). Over 700 BC RMTs participated in the 2007 Congress replays, reflecting the impact that this research has on massage therapy” said Damon Marchand, MTABC President.

Our 2012 event will be the third Fascia Congress. The first congress took place in Boston, Massachusetts at Harvard Medical School in 2007. The second Fascia Congress is occurring this week at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. The Vancouver Congress will be the largest, with a delegate registration expected to be over 1,000.

The theme for the 2012 Fascia Congress will be the practical application of research to practice.

“We know that the profession of massage therapy is excited about this research and about this Congress. We look forward to welcoming leading researchers, clinicians and educators from around the world to Vancouver” said Marchand.
