Latest Massage Therapist signing up for the 8th World Championship in Massage is Mahadizan Hamzah from Malaysia. The International Massage Association has asked him to tell about himself:
My name is Mahadizan Hamzah, and I come from the beautiful country of Malaysia. I have been a professional practitioner in Traditional and Complementary Medicine for over 20 years, operating my own consultation and treatment centre in Kuala Lumpur.
I specialize in a range of therapeutic modalities including:
- Traditional Malay Massage
- Chinese Tuina Massage
- Guasa Therapy
- Fire, Malay, Herbal, and Phoenix Cupping
- Moxibustion treatments
- Acupuncture
- Islamic Healing techniques
My massage techniques combine ancient Southeast Asian traditions with modern therapeutic practices, aiming for holistic healing of the body, mind, and spirit.
In the Freestyle category, I blend rhythmic movements from Malay Traditional Massage with Chinese Tuina and modern bodywork techniques to create a unique and flowing massage performance.
In the Asian Massage category, I focus on authentic deep-tissue techniques, Meridian balancing, and ancient Gua Sha-based recovery methods.
I have had the honor to treat patients from Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Yemen, and the United States. Alongside treatment, I actively teach students across Malaysia and connect them with opportunities to learn from masters in Indonesia and China.
In the past year, I have participated in regional massage competitions, proudly achieving:
- Gold Medal in the Freestyle Massage Category (Southeast Asia)
- Bronze Medal in the Asian Massage Category (Southeast Asia)
My primary goal has always been to help each client achieve balance, health, and vitality through individualized therapeutic care.
Participating in the World Championship is an incredible opportunity for me to showcase the beauty and effectiveness of Southeast Asian healing traditions, while further refining my skills and sharing knowledge with a global community of massage professionals.
I have undergone extensive training (formal and informal) in massage therapy across Malaysia, Indonesia, and China. My educational background includes:
