Amma, meaning push-pull, is an ancient Asian word to describe massage. Amma is one of the massage branches of traditional Chinese medicine. This form of bodywork is based on the principles of Chinese medicine and is more than 5,000 years old. A derivative of Amma, Amma Therapy was developed by Tina Sohn in the 1960’s. Amma therapy is a different type of massage that pays attention to the more subtle vibrations of the human body. It focuses on the balance and movement of energy.
"I know how important bodywork is and I think Amma is the best massage there is."





An important part of the Amma process is client education. Amma Therapy stresses client responsibility and cooperation in following through with recommendations.
Amma Therapy treats a wide range of conditions including:
- trauma from sprains, fractures, broken bones
- gastrointestinal diseases
Amma Therapy works on both the primary and tendino-muscle meridians of the body affecting all the systems of the mind/body complex, therefore treating most illnesses.
