Amma, which means push-pull, is an ancient Asian term to describe massage. Amma Therapy is primarily concerned with the movement and balance of life energy (Qi) in the human body. By making use of a wide variety of massage techniques, including Shiatsu, Swedish massage therapy, and reflexology, practitioners of Amma massage therapy aid the free flow of Qi through the body. When this happens, the body becomes fit to heal itself of any illnesses, as well as resist ill-health in future.
How Amma Therapy Works?
Amma massage therapy blends many Eastern-based massage techniques with many Western-based medical practices. It concentrates on the life force energy known as Qi, but it also employs traditional Western treatments like chiropractic techniques as well. In assessment for treatment, the Amma massage practitioner will do more than just speak with the patient about their symptoms. Assessment involves a range of procedures, including every aspect of the mind and body. This involves four major factors: asking, looking, smelling and touching.
Practitioners of Amma massage therapy believe that anything about the human body can be learned by evaluating the body’s internal state. In deciding treatment, they find out the patient’s likes and dislikes, evaluate bowel movements, pulses, complexion, diet, sounds of the body, and more.
What are the benefits of Amma therapy?
Amma massage therapy has been in use for many thousands of years to treat and prevent a range of illnesses, including intestinal problems, breathing problems, and bone joint deficiencies (such as arthritis).
Other benefits may include general and better health, as well as a stronger immune system resulting in longer life.
