Massage Championship is an international professional organization for massage therapists working in the fields of massage, complementary therapies, spa & wellness, sports, health and beauty. It was founded by experts from the world of education, the massage profession, business, therapy, including subject matter experts, governing bodies and councils.

Under the leadership of Nihat Ayçeman, we all came together to support you on your journey to success with expert support and advice. In addition to our championship organization team, we also have international partners, academic and sectoral subject experts, juries and collaborators.

We are working with enthusiasm to successfully realize the Massage Championship, which will be held for the first time in Turkey, with your participation.
