Listen in to Research Perch as we speak with Dr. Niki Munk and Sami Zabel about the MassageNet Special Session and activity held at the 2025 International Massage Therapy Research Conference in Alexandria, VA. The session provided the opportunity for MassageNet Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN) member massage therapists to share their ideas about research topics, and to decide on the topic of the first research study developed and run entirely by MassageNet.

Webinar-style virtual convening of MassageNet members: Thursday, August 28 @ 7PM EST
