International Massage Festival The Original

Five years of connections and lifelong friendships.

Thank you to every therapist who has been part of the Team USA Massage journey.

The greatest achievement has never been a medal. It has been the relationships we’ve built around the world.

Here’s to wherever those relationships lead next and the refinement of our initiatives.

Big thanks to

for all your support! Congrats for being top fans on a streak 🔥!

We are proud of the therapists who invested in themselves through Team USA Massage prep training. Growth happens through practice, courage, mentorship, and community. Supporting and watching therapists develop confidence, refine their skills, and step onto stages presenting their work, evaluating and organizing championships and trainings of their own has been one of the greatest rewards. Thank you for selecting us to be a part of your journey.
