Purpose of the Centre
The New Zealand Massage Therapy Research Centre was established in 2009 to foster massage therapy research in New Zealand.
The New Zealand Massage Therapy Research Centre aims to: integrate massage therapy research and teaching in the Faculty of Health, Humanities and Computing and across the wider massage community; and establish the Southern Institute of Technology as an internationally recognised hub for massage therapy research.
The centre will:
- facilitate massage research networks within NZ by linking researchers, academic staff, clinicians, students and industry associates.
- promote massage therapy research and research informed education, and through collaboration with key research partners; and
- contribute to massage therapy research nationally and internationally.
