If you are looking for an association of professional massage therapists, it is only natural that your selection criteria are precise. The chosen association must above all correspond to you, both in your values and in your needs in terms of listening and service. Let us have the pleasure of explaining to you, in simple terms, what we can offer you.

Reasons to join the AMQ®

The AMQ® offers its 43 years of experience and expertise to serve its members.

This beautiful story began with a small group of massage therapists passionate about their profession.
A profession where listening, respect, relaxation and the alleviation of physical pain form a whole.
A rewarding profession whose human approach makes all the difference to the customer.
It is on these solid foundations that the small group of massage therapists decided to set up a major project.
That of bringing together professional massage therapists who practice different massage techniques.

It was therefore on February 4, 1981 that the AMQ® was founded: its strong and proud roots still remain firmly anchored today.

The AMQ® does not have any financial benefit.

It is therefore not a business.
The annual membership fee paid by members is non-taxable and therefore remains low-cost.
Independent, the AMQ® does not use any marketing, promotion or other plan, focusing essentially on its members.

The AMQ® is and will remain an independent and non-profit organization in order to offer fair service to its members, a key element of shared trust.

Since members are at the heart of the AMQ®, it is natural that customer service is personalized.
