Seated Acupressure Massage

This is an upper body massage targeting key areas of tension in the back, shoulders, neck and arms. It works to improve the flow of energy throughout the body which has a normalising and balancing effect, promoting a sense of wellbeing.

The client is fully clothed and sits on a purpose designed massage chair.

Seated Acupressure Massage is based on a traditional form of Japanese massage called Anma, which means ‘push– pull’ or ‘press – rub’ and was originally passed down from family to family. It works to improve the flow of energy throughout the body and acts on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems. It is a system of Oriental massage that focuses on the balance and flow of ‘Ki’ around the body, through a complex system of channels or meridians. Any stagnation of energy flow in the channels or meridians can create an imbalance in the body and can lead to ill-health. 

The massage sequence is called a ‘KATA’ and works on over sixty acupressure points as well as trigger points. This massage can be adapted to shorter or longer sequences.
