Welcome to ABMT
The Association of Biodynamic Massage Therapists

Biodynamic Massage is a form of massage that addresses both the body and the mind. It affects all aspects of our being - physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. It was developed in the 1960's by Gerda Boyesen, a clinical psychologist and physiotherapist, interested in the effects of massage on people's mental health.

The ABMT is a verifying organisation for the CNHC and as such can support Biodynamic Therapists who wish to register with the CNHC. From May 2021 therapists will be required to have both a Biodynamic Massage qualification and a prior massage qualification (min Level 3) to ensure that they meet the CNHC Core Curriculum requirements. Therapists who are currently members will retain their membership.
