Anma Japanese Massage

Anma: a practice of traditional Japanese massage. Performed over clothes, it stimulates all the systems in the body to find a harmonious balance.

Anma is a non-diagnostic massage designed to stimulate the flow of energy in the body, promoting well-being. It is performed through clothing rather than directly on the skin. It consists of a set sequence which include gentle rhythmic motions, stretching, rubbing, and percussive techniques along the meridian lines of traditional Eastern medicine.

From a more modern perspective it stimulates the lymphatic system, aids circulation and releases restriction within the fascia, bringing about a sense of ease.

A 90-min session of Anma with John leaves you either fully re-energised or grounded and relaxed in a way we rarely experience in modern society. Either way – it seems to deliver just the right medicine for your physiological needs.
