I think the Chamber of Comerce is a great idea. Depending on where you live there a number of things you could do to market/network your business:

Convention center - If there is a local convention center, or larger hotel that does large meetings, you could arrange with convention organizers to offer chair massages free to their attendees - or you could become an exhibitor at various functions and charge for you services.

Local shopping mall - Often Malls and other community organiazations offer HEALTH FAIRS where you could set up and offer chair massages or sell gift certifcates.

Large employers - (As a chamber member you would have access to membership lists) - you could approach large employers who might want to give a "day of luxury" to their employees offering free chair massages, OR allowing you to set up a "clinic" on-site for employees

Senior Citizens Centers

Local Hospitals/Health Centers - they often have community education classes - seminars on various topics. If you developed a "Stress Reduction" or "Stress Management" lecture, you could offer that to these groups

I already went the chamber route. It was very time consuming. I was looking for new networking groups that I don't know about. I am not satified with your answer... I told you I already knew that information. There must be medical professional networking groups out there!
I am trying to grow my business into a holistic approach with yoga and pain management clinic's...
Please guide and assist!!!

Where are you located? Are you looking to work local, or travel? When you say networking groups, are you looking for an organization to advertise through, or are you looking for an organization that meets regularly?

What is your business plan. You state that you do chair massage - when/where - single person or groups?

I know there are lots of questions, but it would help me help you.
