Good afternoon everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed the MNN Annual Meeting yesterday. As Ben mentioned,
our outreach activities have gone extremely well this year, and I have
another opportunity to share with you. We received this email from the
Massage Therapy Association of Manitoba on Tuesday through the MNN Speaker's
Bureau. They are requesting speakers for their annual education conference,
which will take place April 21-23, 2017. As you will see, they have
mentioned some individuals by name, and we have already contacted them, but
they have also requested other speakers for the topics that are listed
below. This is a great opportunity to connect with the regulatory body of a
growing allied health profession in our province, and I hope you will
consider taking part. If you are interested, please contact me or Kae
Normandeau (just to inform us so that we can keep track of our activities
for the annual report), and then feel free to contact Tricia directly to
arrange your participation.
As always, thank you for your support of the MNN and our outreach programs.
Best wishes for a summer that contains equal parts sun and productivity!
Sari

Hello Kaeleen,
I am contacting you on behalf of the Massage Therapy Association of
Manitoba. MTAM is a not-for-profit organization that provides the massage
therapy profession with a self-regulating body to ensure the highest
standards of massage training and practice, and provide protection for the
public.
One of the ways we accomplish this is by holding an annual Spring Education
Conference. This conference provides a means for our members to achieve
some of their mandatory continuing competency credits every year.
There is a growing need for evidence based education as it relates to the
field of manual therapy. Topics of interest to our members would be:
* The placebo effect
* Treatment of chronic pain
* Neural and fascial relationships
* Posture
* Repetitive strain disorders
* Acupuncture
* Psychological effects of chronic pain and their impact on treatment
* The role of manual therapy in the rehabilitation of spinal cord
injuries
I am interested in contacting Dr. Barbara Shay, Dr. Karen Ethans and Dr.
Katinka Stecina to see if they have presentations that they could offer on
any of these topics. I would also be appreciate if you could make
recommendations of other speakers who could present information on the above
topics.
Our next conference is scheduled for April 21-23, 2017 in Winnipeg at the
Victoria Inn and Conference Centre.
We are looking for presenters who would be able to do 1-2 hour presentations
on any of the 3 days of the conference. Our education sessions are held at
various times between the hours of 8:30 am - 5:00 pm.
Dr. Shay, Dr. Ethans and Dr. Stecina may contact me directly if they are
interested in discussing the possibility of presenting at our conference. I
welcome any other suggestions for speakers that you may have and am open to
hearing options for other topics that they feel may be relevant to our
members.
Thank you for your assistance.
Warm regards,
Tricia Weidenbacher, RMT
