AMMA Therapy® is an ancient form of massage therapy, based on the 5,000 year old principles of Chinese Medicine. It promotes the circulation of Vital Qi (pronounced "chee") in the body. AMMA Therapy® relies on Five Element Theory, which considers the role of the emotions in physical dis-ease. As such, an AMMA Therapy® session will always consider the relationship between body, mind, and spirit.
In this session, meridians and acupressure points are stimulated in a very specific pattern, restoring and revitalizing the body's life force. AMMA Therapy® is similar to acupuncture, but does not use needles.
AMMA Therapy® is a soothing and highly effective form of bodywork that targets physical conditions such as sinus pain, asthma, digestive problems, PMS, menopausal symptoms, headaches, and neck and back pain. It is also beneficial for those suffering from anxiety and depression.
This ancient system of holistic healing also examines the client's dietary habits and how these choices affect the quality of the Qi. Gentle and restorative exercises like Qi Gong and Tai Chi as well as meditation may also be recommended.
