Folding Towels - A Podcast for Massage Therapists with Jackie and David

Episoe 116: Will Massage and Myotherapy in Australia ever be recognised as allied health?


Listen Later

The question that keeps coming up in massage therapy circles: Will massage and myotherapy in Australia ever be recognised as allied health?

David and Jackie unpack the context and complexities behind professional recognition. They explore what “allied health” really means, the function of AHPRA, and why massage therapists sit in a uniquely funny grey area.

From qualification inconsistencies and multiple associations to public misconceptions and rogue operators, take a look at the barriers that keep massage on the fringe. But it’s not all frustration — because advocacy is already underway. Collaboration across associations is gaining traction.

And how therapists present themselves can raise standards and strengthen our profession.
