One technique we at BIOBALANCE INC. use to help stimulate and
create positive responses to stress and imbalances are through Medical
Massage(AMMA).
Amma Massage is an ancient therapeutic massage that dates back to 2697 B.C. and is based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). This uses all of the techniques of the major forms of therapeutic massage including acupressure. Pressure and touch are applied to specific points on the body as well as energy channels. These energy channels are the same as with acupuncture. The aim is to restore, promote, and maintain optimal health by removing energy blockages according to individual needs. Acupressure’s healing touch reduces tension, increases circulation, and enables the body to relax deeply.
In Chinese the word am-ma means “push-pull.” Various forms of massage and bodywork have been practiced in China for thousands of years, and many of these ancient techniques continue to be used today.
The benefits of massage are physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It can result in:
- stretching, loosening and releasing muscles
- cleansing the body of harmful toxins and releasing of endorphins
- relaxation, reducing of mental stress and calming of the mind
- caring and nurturing touch, decreased anxiety
- reduced feelings of isolation and increased self-awareness
