Anma (massage) - Massage

Japanese: あんま(按摩) - あんま
Anma (massage) - Massage
A method of treatment in which the body and limbs are massaged and stroked with the hands to loosen muscle knots and improve blood circulation, or a person who practices this. This method was introduced from China long ago, but in the Edo period it was widely practiced as a profession for the blind. At that time, anma techniques included treatments such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and osteopathy, and anma also played the role of a doctor, with various schools such as the Sugiyama school and the Yoshida school. Today, examinations and licenses are regulated by law as "anma massage and shiatsu therapists." → Shiatsu/Massage → Related topics National Komyoryo | Stimulation therapy | Gymnastics
