Amma Bodywork Therapy is an ancient form of Asian bodywork rooted in Classic Chinese Medicine and the concept of balancing Qi, or vital energy, in the body. The name “Amma” comes from the classical term for “push–pull,” reflecting its dynamic use of deep pressure, friction, and touch along acupoints, energy channels, muscles, and joints.
Instead of needles, the therapist uses highly trained hands to both assess and treat, helping to open the body’s channels, release tension, and restore the smooth flow of energy. People may seek Amma Therapy to address stress and anxiety, chronic muscle tension, headaches, fatigue, digestive discomfort, or a sense of energetic stagnation, as well as to support overall balance, resilience, and nervous system regulation.
