If you’re looking for something new to gamble on, why not try the World Championship in Massage?

Every year, massage therapists from around the world come together to compete to see who can perform the best massage. There’s no restriction on what kind of massage you offer; just show up, perform your massage, then get a rating from an international panel of judges.

Ahead of this year’s competition in Copenhagen, we thought we’d take a look at some clips from other years and competitions. The videos are both relaxing and really, really strange.
