About ABMT

Founded in 1992 as the Association of Holistic Biodynamic Massage Therapists (AHBMT), the ABMT is a professional forum representing Biodynamic Massage Therapists and Biodynamic Massage in the UK.

The decision to remove ‘Holistic’ from our title was made in the spring of 2012.   Twenty years ago when the Association was formed ‘Holistic’ was perceived differently and in recent years both ‘holistic’ and ‘alternative’ have been replaced by complementary.

Our Aims:
  • Provide a professional forum and network for members.
  • Promote the nature and benefits of Biodynamic Massage to the general public.
  • Maintain high standards of practice in accordance with the Code of Ethics and Complaints Procedure.
  • Represent Biodynamic Massage Therapists at a national level with national bodies  such as the General Council for Massage Therapies.
  • Update and develop Biodynamic Massage and encourage research.

Our offer for members includes:

  • Regular meetings/events as a forum for discussion and CPD
  • Opportunity to register as qualified biodynamic massage practitioner on the ABMT website (full practicing members only)
  • ABMT acts as a verifying organisation for registration with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)
  • A twice-yearly journal
  • Good value insurance
