What does equity really look like in massage therapy?

This article draws from research to examine racism, access, and representation in our profession—and why “treating everyone the same” isn’t enough.

✨️ In recognition of Black History Month, join ABMP and Cal Cates as we take a closer look at equity, diversity, and inclusion in massage therapy—taking massage from luxury to accessible health care for all.
