MT is a profession with the intention of positively affecting the health and well-being of the client through a variety of touch techniques (American Massage Therapy Association Glossary of Terms). MT’s are trained in assessment, treatment planning, application of various massage techniques/modalities, communication/reporting with both patients and members of the health care team (Goldblatt 2009). MT use is widespread in the US, and is increasingly viewed as part of integrative health care. This is due to a rapidly expanding evidence base (Moyer & Dryden 2012, Moyer et al. 2009) and MT’s popularity for treating common health complaints. A 2007 National Institute of Health (NIH) survey of US adults found that MT was the the number one out-of-pocket practitioner-based expense and the second most commonly used practitioner-based CAM therapy -- nearly equalling the volume of chiropractic/osteopathic care (Barnes 2008).

Comfort or palliative care before and after an invasive medical procedure can ease the discomfort somewhat. Massage provided during drug rehabilitation programs supports the recovery process. Massage for the medical staff promotes their ability to serve effectively. 1 Research is validating the effects of massage, making its inclusion in health care possible. The challenge for massage therapists who want to work in the health care environment is not so much how to work with specific diseases, but rather how to work effectively with the health care professionals serving the patient. Clinical/Medical Massage An outcome-based treatment specifically targeted to address conditions that have been diagnosed by an appropriate health care professional Focus: application based on the diagnosis, the prescribed treatment, and the determined outcomes for the patient Massage therapists must be willing to work in situations involving an increased risk of disease transmission. Also, the massage professional functions as part of a health care team where the overall treatment plan is supervised by a medical professional, usually a physician.) 3 Becoming Part of the Health Care Team Characteristics of successful interdisciplinary teams: Provide care to a common group of patients. Develop common goals for performance outcomes and work together toward these goals. Appropriate roles and functions are assigned to each team member. Members understand and respect the roles of others. All members contribute and share essential information about both, tasks and group process. 4 The massage therapist must know the scope of practice of each of the members of the interdisciplinary team and must be able to explain his or her own role.
