Massage World Record Challenge

Hands United

Help Us Break Two Massage World Records

We’re bringing thousands of massage therapists, students, and supporters together in North Carolina to attempt Two Guinness World Records in one historic event.

Massage World Record Challenge

What Is Hands United?

Hands United is a historic world record attempt created to showcase the power of touch, healing, and unity in the massage therapy community.

In one powerful, synchronized moment, we will bring together thousands of participants to attempt:

  • The Longest Massage Chain – a continuous line of people massaging the person in front of them.

  • The Largest Group Massage – thousands of participants massaging at the same time in a guided experience.

Why We’re Doing This

Massage therapy has transformed millions of lives — yet our profession doesn’t always receive the visibility or recognition it deserves.

Hands United was created to change that.

  • Highlight the value and impact of massage therapy on wellness and mental health.

  • Showcase diversity within the profession, including Black and Brown practitioners and business owners.

  • Unite therapists, students, and supporters from across states, schools, and backgrounds.

If you’ve ever wanted to be part of something bigger than your treatment room, this is your moment
