Animal Massage Research

The PetMassage Training & Research Institute now offers research opportunities through independent study courses, and is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) as continuing education provider #285813-00, The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and The Association of Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).

CEU available.

Current Research Studies for participation:

At our last conference, we discussed the importance of developing a cache of research studies on the effect of massage and bodywork on animals and their care givers.  The more completed studies we have, even if they are small ones, the more credibility we establish.  The IAAMB will publish your studies and create a library to catalogue and organize them.

Please adapt the following created by PetMassage™.  Jonathan Rudinger, your IAAMB President, will be happy to help you in any way he can.

Project PM R1:

A study of the effects of PetMassage™ therapy on the quality of movement and stress levels in post surgery dogs. Download the Research Study Outline for more information.
