The DACUM Research Chart for Massage Therapist was developed through a collaborative process involving expert practitioners, including Dennis Gibbons, LMT, and Barbara Richison, LMT. It maps the full scope of the occupation into clear, measurable duties and tasks.
The chart covers duty areas including patient and client assessment, treatment planning, and hands-on techniques such as Swedish massage and reflexology. Business management and ongoing professional development are also included, reflecting the full scope of the profession.
Beyond technique, the chart identifies general knowledge requirements, worker behaviors, and the tools and equipment that support effective practice. It was produced under the leadership of Robert E. Norton and sponsored by CETE/OSU as a foundation for curriculum development.
