Philosophy

‘An act of human connection. A choice of excellence. A commitment from the heart.’

The Nations Tournament is more than an event. It is a manifesto for a world of well-being that chooses unity over competition, excellence as a path to awareness, and the representation of nations as an act of shared pride.

Each team embodies a culture, a history, an energy. And every gesture is a way to meet, learn, and grow together.

Organised by the Artis Event association, the Nations Massage Tournament brings together those who believe in the art of care based on ethics, listening, and the beauty of the right touch.

Here, we celebrate connection before ranking. People before trophies.

The overall aim of this tournament is to foster team spirit through 8 to 10 national teams representing their countries in the realm of massage and manual therapy.

The objective is for national teams to be rewarded for their collective skills and effort.

Each team has
– 1 team leader
– 1 jury member
– 5 participants

Each team member will participate in 1 category. (mettre lien vers ancre Catégorie)

CATEGORIES

Category 1 – Wellness

Four-Hand Massage

Two practitioners, one breath… and a unique sensory experience .

The goal? To offer deep relaxation, stimulate the five senses and invite total letting go through perfect synchronisation (or sometimes gentle desynchronisation 😉).

🔑 Key points:

  • Fluidity and harmony between the two masseurs.
  • Identical rhythm for an enveloping sensation.
  • Relaxing oils to enhance relaxation.
  • Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system for total relaxation.
  • A holistic and sensory approach that frees both body and mind.

Category 2 – Sports Massage – Muscle Preparation

💪 The art of preparing the body for exercise!

The Sports Massage category focuses on muscle activation, joint mobilisation and circulatory stimulation techniques.

Objective: to optimise performance while preventing injuries.

👉 Here, power, precision and control come together to awaken the muscles and boost energy.

Category 3 – Freestyle Beauty – Face Lift

Beauty, fluidity and refinement.

The Freestyle Beauty category enhances the face using lifting and draining techniques inspired by aesthetic traditions such as kobido.

Objective: to tone, sculpt and illuminate the oval of the face.

👉 Between the art of touch and anatomical precision, it is the magic of an immediate ‘radiant glow’.

Category 4 – Asian Traditions – Passive Stretching

🧘‍♂️ Harmony and energy.

The Asian Traditions category invites you to journey to the heart of ancestral practices: Nuad Boran, Shiatsu, Tuina…

Objective: to release blockages through passive stretching and targeted pressure, for deep relaxation and improved energy flow.

👉 The body relaxes, the mind calms: balance is restored.

Category 5 – Ayurvedic – Holistic Neck & Shoulder Massage

🌺 The ancient art of Ayurveda for relaxation.

The Ayurvedic category focuses on the neck, shoulders and upper back to soothe nervous and energetic tension.

Objective: to offer a holistic massage that deeply relaxes and harmonises the body.

👉 With oils, traditional techniques and Ayurvedic accessories, it is an inner journey towards serenity.
