Participants

Glenn Ellingsen, Norway

Latest Massage Therapist to sign up for the World Championship in Massage is the Norwegian Massage Champion 2021. IMA has asked him to tell about himself:

My name is Glenn Ellingsen, I am 45 years old. Has two children, two dogs and a wonderful wife. My journey started 23.11.76 when I was born, it was a tough upbringing with many bad moments. During these years I developed anxiety, and to keep the anxiety in check I trained a lot. During the training, I got to be at peace, then I got the understanding of anatomy, physiology and therefore I got educated as a personal trainer, dietician and coach. My childhood and my education started to shape me in a positive direction, so I ended up taking a basic course in massage in 2017. Along the way, I developed weekly because I read a lot, watched YouTube and traveled around and got massages from others. Suddenly I found my calling, I wanted to learn more and searched online, where I found the Norwegian Massage School. There I met Kjetil Prestesæter who is a teacher and founder of the school, an incredibly knowledgeable person.

Kjetil taught me to put together my knowledge, he made me sign up for the Norwegian Championship in 2021. There I ended up getting two golds and the title Norwegian Champion 2021. This opened my eyes to compete in massage. In 2021 I also participated in the World Cup where I won one gold, one silver and one bronze medal.

I am constantly looking to become a better therapist and want to develop in the profession. In the autumn of 2021 I had a visit from Jidapha Wilkinson, I learned an incredible amount from her and have greatly appreciated that she wanted to come to Norway. In January 2022 I will be visited by Bojan Miric who I am really looking forward to meet.

My style of massage:

I perform Deep Tissue Massage, Western Freestyle and Wellness. I also use tools like Tok-sen, IASTM, cupping, wavestone, and power tools. All the massage I perform I do with love. I play detective and find out how the customer has felt that day, week, month and years that have been. Then I have received information about how the body is, when I treat on the bench afterwards I remember what the customer said and at the same time I listen to what the body tells me. Only then can I start helping the customer. I always end all my treatments with wellness. My goal with the treatments is to give them an experience and a journey where the destination is an inner peace and a body that works in everyday life.

My education so far:

AFPT basic course

NORmassage

Norwegian Massage School, level 1 and 2.

Norwegian School of General Practitioners – Anatomy and physiology

The International Massage World Championships (IMA) in Copenhagen was an extraordinary experience. It provided a unique platform to compete with the best massage therapists in the world and learn advanced techniques at the highest level.The professional exchange, the valuable feedback from the jury and the inspiring atmosphere have significantly expanded my skills. An absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to perfect their art and make international connections.A special thank you goes to Jeppe Tengbjerg, founder and CEO of the International Massage Association and organizer of the World Championships in Massage. Without his vision and commitment, this outstanding event would not have been possible.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a massage seminar jointly organized by IMA Academy and Chiida Academy, and I must say it was a truly enriching experience. The seminar, led by a professional instructor, was a perfect blend of theory and practice, offering valuable insights into the art of massage therapy. The theoretical aspects covered were comprehensive and informative, providing a solid foundation of knowledge for all participants. From anatomy and physiology to various massage techniques and their applications, every aspect was explained with clarity and depth. It was evident that the instructor was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about imparting their expertise to the students. What truly stood out about this seminar was the emphasis on hands-on practice. Participants were given ample opportunities to apply the theoretical concepts they had learned in a supportive and nurturing environment. The instructor's guidance and feedback were invaluable in honing our skills and techniques. Moreover, I was impressed by the caring attitude and thoughtfulness shown towards the students throughout the seminar. From providing necessary materials to addressing individual queries and concerns, the organizers ensured that everyone felt valued and supported. I would like to extend my gratitude to Mr. Jeppe Tengbjerg for his exceptional leadership in making this seminar a resounding success. His expertise, patience, and genuine dedication to the art of massage therapy were truly inspiring.In conclusion, the collaborative effort between IMA Academy and Chiida Academy in presenting this massage seminar was commendable. It was a rewarding experience that left me feeling empowered and equipped with valuable knowledge and skills. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of massage therapy or embark on a career in this field.
