ANMA Massage Therapy – Back Focus (90 Minutes)

TRADITIONAL JAPANESE ROOTS

Anma Massage is one of the oldest traditional therapeutic practices in Japan, with a history dating back over 1,500 years. Originally developed by blind practitioners, Anma focuses on channeling energy (Ki), stimulating blood circulation, and relieving muscle tension through precise and rhythmic hand movements. It is the foundation of many modern massage techniques, including Shiatsu. The method embodies a holistic philosophy that harmonizes the body and mind by restoring natural energy flow.

Anma Massage Therapy (Back) – 90 min focuses on intensive treatment of the back area, where a dense network of nerves and muscles connects directly to the spine, shoulders, neck, and the entire central nervous system.

The therapy applies four main techniques: stroking, gliding, kneading and pressing along the spine to release blockages, soften large muscle groups, activate pressure points, and relieve deep-seated muscle contractions.

MODERN INTEGRATION

Two modern devices are incorporated into the Anma therapy to enhance therapeutic effectiveness:

🔹 Infrared Therapy Lamp: Works by emitting thermal radiation that deeply warms the muscles and joints in the back. The gradual increase in temperature helps dilate blood vessels, improve circulation, and stimulate cell regeneration, effectively reducing inflammation.

🔹 Electrotherapy Machine: Delivers electrical impulses directly to body tissues, stimulating nerves and promoting the release of endorphins – the body’s natural pain relievers – accelerating and enhancing back recovery.

Additionally, the therapy includes massage of the neck–shoulders–nape, head, arms, and legs. Hot stone therapy is also integrated into the treatment to promote deep relaxation and energy restoration.
