Acupoint Meridian Massage (AMM) is a therapeutic technique based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Explanation
Its main aim is to restore the balance of Qi, the life energy, in the body and thereby activate the body’s natural self-healing powers. This massage uses the meridian, acupuncture and organ system of TCM as the starting point for its treatments. Meridians serve as energy pathways that connect the acupuncture points with each other.
Procedure and technology
The treatment process begins with a discussion about the existing complaints, followed by a tongue, pulse and facial diagnosis according to TCM principles. The actual massage takes place in a lying position, with a metal rod being stroked along the meridians to treat the acupuncture points. This stimulation is supplemented by other TCM techniques such as cupping, moxibustion, an energetic spinal treatment or Gua Sha. The treatment ends with a resting phase for relaxation.
