The American Massage Therapy Association is the largest non-profit, professional association serving massage therapists, massage students and massage schools. We are guided by a volunteer national Board of Directors who sets the course for the association. As a member-driven organization, we are constantly in conversation with our members through surveys, phone calls, emails and social media to understand the diverse needs of all of our members and their hopes for the profession. We advocate for the issues important to massage therapists across the country at the federal, state and local levels of government. We promote the health benefits of massage to the public, the health care community and other important groups. AMTA provides its members with the strongest benefits in the massage therapy profession and has been serving our community for over 75 years.See more

USUSI renewed my license this year, and for the first time in four years decided to express my discomfort as an honest and reliable MALE-straight Massage Therapist. Evil business as Massage Envy and Lisa Taranto, have fired me illegally: I went to Abrahamson Legal Group; Legal Corner, and recently CA Human Rights, and no one believes my testimony: I am Not perfect, but my only defect is apply the same moral values I learnt in public schools, and from home: Looking clients, employees to the eye (but women think I am looking her upper intimate parts), promote human and professional touch through a real and responsible massage session; study other fields as Level 1 of Tibetan Reiki, MBLEX, kinesiology tape use, etc...AMTA operator by email replied they CAN NOT HELP, but referred me to CA Employment Dept. I think. The operator said she was going to mail physically some forms to start a formal complain against LISA TARANTO AND INDIO SPA; but the forms NEVER came.All AMTA should do is protect more male honest therapist, by following up emails like this. AMTA: Do you want my money every two years, right? Well, when I needed you, YOU transferred me to irresponsible people that maybe work for Massage Envy and Evil Lisa Taranto. Please follow up these interactions in your platform and treat me and my money and time with respect and dignity in the next year and a half...GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
