Anma, amma Massage Therapy Techniques
I have been researching Anma, amma massage therapy and I am quite confused. Here are some of the things that I have found.
Amma is Chinese for "push-pull". Chinese anmo became anma or amma which is also Japanese traditional massage. Blind massage therapists in Japan are known to practice this type of work and still do today. They were known to walk around in neighborhoods calling out "Amma" (or maybe it was amma?".
This type of massage is not just for relaxation but for therapeutic purposes.
