Japanese Anma Massage, Full Kata
Glenn Kazmierski, L.Ac., M.T.C.M
Anma means to press (An) and rub (Ma). It also means to spread peace by rubbing or to calm with the hands. Anma therapy is based on the principles of Oriental Medicine. This ancient healing art uses special techniques to stimulate key points (Tsubo) on the surface of the skin to promote the body’s natural self healing abilities. When these points are stimulated they release muscular tension which facilitates the circulation of blood and energy (Kiketsu). Anma can be performed with or without the use of oils and can be done through the clothing or on bare skin, making it a versatile modality that can be a stand-alone session or incorporated into an established routine. In this course you will learn a complete Anma series using oil.
