AMMA Therapy

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.
