Over the course of two years, I read, watched and learned as much as I could about the whole issue and created a toolkit for massage therapists.

In 2022, Deshaun Watson (quarterback for the Cleveland Browns) was accused of the sexual assault of many massage therapists. At that time, AMTA was holding their annual convention in Cleveland right before the football season was to begin, yet they failed to address the issue in any way.

Robot Replicates Traditional Chinese Massage for Therapy and Wellness
A robotic system capable of replicating traditional Chinese massage techniques has been developed by researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology. According to a paper on the arXiv preprint server, this technology incorporates traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) principles and could find applications in health care, rehabilitation, and wellness. Designed to assist patients with various types of discomfort, the robot may offer a safe and controlled alternative to human-administered massages.
