Japanese massage, also known as “anma,” is a traditional form of massage therapy that originated in Japan. Japanese massage therapists typically use their hands, fingers, and thumbs to apply pressure to specific points on the body, as well as to manipulate muscles and soft tissue. They may also use stretching and other techniques to promote relaxation and improve circulation.
Japanese massage is often described as being very relaxing and therapeutic, and it is believed to have a number of health benefits, including:
- Reducing stress and promoting relaxation
- Improving sleep
- Relieving muscle tension and soreness
- Improving circulation
- Helping people recover from injuries or manage chronic pain
Japanese massage is typically performed on a massage table, but it can also be done on a mat on the floor, depending on the preference of the therapist and the client. It’s a gentle and relaxing form of massage therapy that can help improve physical and emotional health.
It is suitable for people of all ages and can be tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of each individual client.
