Japanese Therapy and Bodywork
Anma, meaning "press" (An) and "rub" (Ma), is one of the world’s oldest forms of massage, originating over 5,000 years ago in ancient China. Brought to Japan 1,500 years ago by warrior monks, Anma evolved into a refined therapeutic art based on Oriental medicine principles. It focuses on stimulating key points on the skin to enhance the body’s natural healing, release muscle tension, and improve blood and energy circulation. No oils required
