Strong Russia” and the XIV Russian Championship in the CEN NFM System.

Massage Championship
On December 9, the XI Volga-Vyatka Massage Championship will be held in the CEN NFM system. The venue will be Vyatka State University Engineering - according to the organizer of the Festival, candidate of pedagogical sciences Natalia Boyarintseva, a unique place for innovation, modern interior and technical equipment.
The participants of the championship were not only massage therapists from the Kirov region, but also specialists from 13 nearby regions. Professionals and juniors (two categories are allowed to participate) will compete in three main categories: spa massage, medical massage and facial massage.
It should be noted that the category of juniors includes acting students, and professionals - educated, experienced specialists with the necessary set of competencies. 29 programs from 28 participants are announced in the championship (one specialist will participate in two programs at once).
- Participants will compete in both compulsory and free skating, where they will reveal their tactical abilities when building procedures. The "range" of approaches will be large. Participants and spectators see new scenarios for working with a client, which allows expanding the arsenal, horizons, and worldview in the field of massage, - said Ilya Boyarintsev, the organizer of the Festival and director of the ANO DPO of the CITYSPA Academy of Massage, Rehabilitation and Spa.
- Previously, the championship was more about the celebration, about the emotional component. Now he is moving to functionality: cause-and-effect relationships, effectiveness. The expert jury will evaluate according to 50 common evaluation criteria: ergonomics, movement mechanics, techniques, service, diagnostics. Now the championships are regarded as a new form of training for specialists, when they get new facets, a new polishing of themselves in the profession, seeing the nuances and receiving an assessment from an expert jury.
By the way, the massage therapist begins the “performance” with 50 points, and for each violation, the jury’s shortcoming takes away points from him. The task of the participant is to keep the maximum number of points. When asked by "Business News" what could be the most non-obvious criterion for evaluating skill, Ilya Boyarintsev said that points could be deducted for the masseur not removing the client's slippers. This will violate safety regulations.
It is worth adding that the Volga-Vyatka championship has become quite successful and in demand among the professional community.
— Thanks to our movement, three champions of Russia in spa and medical massage and two world champions have been brought up in the Kirov region. The latter will be among the judges of the championship”, - added Natalya Boyarintseva.
The winners and the winners of the Volga-Vyatka championship will receive a kind of carte blanche - they will get to the Russian championship on December 11.
Scientific and Practical Congress
The heart of the event, according to the organizers, will be the scientific and practical congress “Healthy Nation. Strong Russia. It will take place on December 10th.
— We have united the international expert community in the field of spa, wellness and innovation in the field of science of Vyatka State University. We will present innovative topics in five sections”, - said Natalya Boyarintseva.
This learning event includes hands-on workshops and presentations on topical or problematic topics. Together with VyatSU, the organizers of the Festival intend to demonstrate to the audience of massage therapists, rehabilitation therapists and exercise therapy instructors how scientific developments can be applied in practice, as well as share the necessary techniques and tactics of work.
In total, 22 experts will take part in the Congress, including 8 representatives of Vyatka State University.
— Our partnership has allowed the university to rethink its activities and look at it differently. We have a strategic technology and health project, we are engaged in healthy nutrition, but in this case we saw a more integrated approach. From the university there will be reports on various health-saving technologies - everything related to massage and nutrition. And my report will be about the technology of 3D food printing”, - said Sergey Litvinets, vice-rector for science at Vyatka State University.
Russian championship
The final event will be the XIV Russian Championship in the CEN NFM System. Experts will come to it, ready to prove their skills and win.
There will also be three nominations for the Russian Championship: spa massage - 22 programs are announced, facial massage and medical massage - 16 participants with medical education (a mandatory requirement for participants).
Именно из-за отсутствия должного – среднего или высшего медицинского образования – организаторы отказали многим желающим принять участие в чемпионате.
