At the SMA, we take pride in setting and promoting high standards across the soft tissue therapy profession. Our membership criteria are deliberately rigorous because we believe the public deserves complete confidence in the skill, training, and professionalism of every therapist on our register.

Our reputation for quality makes us the first point of contact for:

• Awarding organisations seeking accreditation guidance

• Legal professionals in need of expert advice or testimony

• Media outlets looking for trusted industry insight

Our Board is made up of actively practising therapists representing all corners of the profession: from elite sport and multidisciplinary clinics, to mobile therapists and educators across colleges and universities.

We understand the real-world needs of working Soft Tissue Therapists, because we are those therapists.
