irrespective of duration. There is good evidence that even modest volumes of exercise will benefit people with arthritis-related pain (Kraus et al., 2019). Prognosis Clinical practice guidelines for osteoarthritis are moving towards an interdisciplinary approach with an emphasis on self-management, physical and psychological therapies and less emphasis on pharmacological and surgical treatments (Bannuru et al., 2019; Kolasinski et al., 2020). Pharmacological treatments options such as opioid analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have small effects on osteoarthritis related pain and are associated with adverse effects (Chou et al., 2020; Fuggle et al., 2019; Gregori et al., 2018; Machado et al., 2015; Zeng et al., 2019. Research also has demonstrated that corticosteroid injections can harm the joint resulting in cartilage loss, accelerated progression of osteoarthritis, and increase the risk of requiring arthroplasty (Kompel et al., 2019; Wijn et al., 2020). Embracing an interprofessional strategy for pain treatment can include the use of conservative pain management strategies including but not limited to: low-impact exercise, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, manual therapy, and psychological therapies as part of a multidimensional treatment approach for patients suffering from osteoarthritis related pain (Bannuru et al., 2019; Busse et al., 2017; Kolasinski et al., 2020; Lin et al., 2020; Skelly et al., 2020.

Systematic Collection and Dissemination of Massage Education Stakeholder Views from the 2017 Alliance for Massage Therapy Educational Congress† Introduction: The Future of MT and Bodywork Forum, held July 27 during the 2017 Alliance for Massage Therapy Education (AFMTE) Educational Congress in Tucson, Arizona, systematically gathered the thoughts and opinions of various massage education stakeholders through an exercise following the principles of the World Café model. Methods: Forum attendees participated in three, concurrent 30-minute Breakout Group Sessions (Rounds) in three different adjacent rooms, focused on Continuing Education, Schools, or Employment. During each session, participants rotated for 3, 2.5, 2, and 1.5 minutes between four tables, asking what should be stopped, started, done differently, or changed in massage education related to the focus topic. Participants recorded their responses in marker on large Post-it® notes (3M, Maplewood, MN). These were reviewed by each of that round’s participants who awarded “importance points” to each response, with 6 blue and 3 orange dots each worth 1 and 3 points, respectively. The Post-it® notes with comments and point allocations were transcribed into a data spreadsheet and analyzed for descriptive statistics and top scoring comments from each room. Results: 85–91 attendees participated in the three breakout sessions resulting in 674 comments with 3,744 assigned value points. The top five scoring comments from each room per session (N = 45) determined stakeholder’s most critical views. Stop comments made up the smallest total comments proportion (19%), yet largest top scoring comment proportion (36%)—potentially highlighting unified frustration for various massage education practices. Comparatively, Start comments made up 26% of total comments, but the smallest highest scoring proportion (18%)-perhaps suggesting stakeholders feel it more important to improve what is already being done rather than beginning new endeavors in these areas. Conclusion: Stakeholder opinions on the future of massage therapy education can be systematically gathered in large conference settings and organized, analyzed, and disseminated to inform field decision-making.
