В апреле Москва принимала пятый юбилейный Чемпионат Центра Подготовки и Развития Массажистов. Он стал масштабным событием выставки Интершарм. Только представьте: для участия в соревнованиях заявлено 93 специалиста из России, Ukraine, Молдовы, Белоруссии, Lithuania, Нигерии, Израиля, Египта! The scale was also evident in the scope of competing categories, and in the number of types of massages provided. Even the line at the Championship registration desk attracted attention with its length and “waves” of positivity. Participants and fans met, shared expectations, encouraged each other.

The Championship opened with the CPRM anthem. The anthem immediately set the participants and the panel of judges in the mood for dynamic work. This was greatly facilitated by the enthusiastic support of the audience. Which, according to the most rapid calculations, there was order that day 1000 man. The excitement among the fans was so great, that the organizers had to urgently organize additional seats in the hall. Some exhibition visitors watched the competition from the upper tier of Crocus City. And the number of photo and video cameras per square meter could, perhaps, compare with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

 

 

The Championship jury included experts, known for their professionalism to the global massage community: Vladislav V. Melnik (председатель судейской коллегии, владелец группы компаний «Центр Подготовки и Развития Массажистов»), Yakovlev Andrey I. (Russia), Goldfinches Sergey (Russia), Lipodaeva Valeria Valerievna (Russia), Рвачёва Мария Андреевна (Russia), Рута Страткаускене (Литва), Olga Volkova (Russia), Turchak Vlad (Israel), Officers Arnold (Ukraine)

The judges were unanimous in most cases. And this, according to one of them, Andrei Yakovlev, emphasizes the objectivity of assessments. After all, on the jury – practicing massage therapists and experienced teachers. They look not so much at the movement of the hands, how much for that, How does a “dialogue” happen with tissues?, how accurately the performer senses changes in the model’s body and knows how to dose them.

The finalists of the regional selections competed in the “classical massage” categories, "baby massage", "free master". The expected event of the Championship was the first established nomination “Good Hands” (for visually impaired massage therapists). The CPRM initiative was supported by the All-Russian Society of the Blind. Specialists with disabilities have the opportunity to realize their professional and creative potential. We thank Moscow Metro Passenger Mobility Center for transport support for visually impaired participants. Employees of the unique TsOM service helped the competitors arrive to the venue of the Championship in comfort and in a good mood. By the way, The “Good Hands” nomination pleasantly surprised the jury with the skill and efficiency of teamwork. So, Route Strathkausken expressed gratitude to the winning team Irina Pleshcheva. Her support group provided an excellent level of performance for the blind participant. The jury appreciated the harmony of Irina’s work: professionalism, neat table decoration and appearance of the contestant, compliance with hygiene requirements.

Pleasant, that serious organizations acted as sponsors at the CPRM Anniversary Championship. So, provided comfortable massage tables for competitions “Online store MASSAGE-PRODUCTS”. And the company "Lorelei" Not only did she decorate the tables in a stylish manner and offered participants the opportunity to use high-quality disposable products during the competition (towels, sheets, napkins), but also dressed the models in chic, cozy robes. We thank the General Director "Mercado Español» Roberta Sagatelova for providing La estrella aromatic coffee as a treat. He created a “fighting” mood among the jury members and participants. After all, for 20 minutes it is necessary to show all stages of massage in the stated technique. The judges strictly assessed the practical nuances of technique and the ethics of massage., compliance with ergonomic rules, registration, clothing, hygiene of massage therapists. As commented Championship judge Vlad Turchak: “In such a fiery rhythm, all participants were as one. We assessed not only young specialists,but also professionals, behind which 20 years of experience. And each of them turned out to be unique".

The competition in the “Children’s massage” category became interesting.. In addition to standard requirements, participants must demonstrate the ability to communicate with young models. It worked best Turlyun Anastasia – she was the one who became the best in “Children’s massage”. Curious, that each nominee used his own methodology. Someone worked in uniform, decorated with cartoon pictures, and offered children bright toys as play props. Others hired parents of young models as assistants.. Vasily Petrakov, took second place in the category, competed as a cheerful clown! Everything was approved, so that the child not only gets healthier physically, but also received moral pleasure from the massage. For the comfort of the kids, children's songs were played in the background.. After the end of the performance – the young guests were entertained by an animator (Zaitsev Pavel) in a makeshift playroom, organized by the CPRM right next to the Championship site.

The jury noted the excellent training of young specialists in the “Classical massage” category. Lyba Tatyana became the best (Rostov-on-Don). I was especially pleased with the Southern Region team. Jury members, previously judged the qualifying championship of the Southern Federal District, noticed, how much effort the head of the branch, Valeria Lipodaeva, and her teachers personally put into preparing their nominees. The fact of the excellent performance of the “southerners” was indirectly confirmed by the spectators. So, after the presenter's comment about, that now the speakers were novice specialists with less than 2 years, Visitors to the Intercharm exhibition went to sign up for CPRM courses. That's how impressive and professional the performance in this category was!

 

Regarding participants in the “Professional” category – here the jury was especially impressed by Krasnodar resident Nikolay Kruk. He was recognized as a gold medalist. Note, but, that the judges approached the evaluation of the “classics” critically. Fact, that some participants in the “Professional” category did not strictly adhere to the classical technique, but demonstrated mixed personal equipment. Which automatically reduced points for the performance.

 

 

 

The competition in the “free master” category caused delight among specialists and fans.. Some nominees are themselves authors of massage techniques.. So their performance became a kind of master class for those present. The honored guests of the Championship were also impressed by what was happening: representative of the Department of Manual Therapy of the Medical University named after. Sechenov – Dr. Kozlov Sergey Mikhailovich; silver medalist of the World SPA Massage Championship, champion of Ukraine, Spa coordinator of the highest category Olga Krakovetskaya; creator of the author's school of spa skills, international master – Ivan Kisil.

The best among newcomers was the promising massage therapist Alexey Sokovnin from Smolensk. The audience chose massage therapist Sergei Fedoseev from the Moscow region as their favorite, received in the end “Приз зрительских симпатий”.

Nominations followed one another, tension and anticipation of results grew. A pleasant surprise for the guests of the Championship was the performance of singer Leila Buzovkina.
