About Amma Therapy
The word Amma, which means "push-pull" in Chinese, was applied to a
form of Oriental massage dating back five thousand years to the period
of the Yellow Emperor. Founded and developed by Korean-born Tina Sohn,
Amma Therapy is a highly refined and complex system of bodywork whose
techniques and treatment strategies combine the use of traditional
Oriental medical principles and a Western approach to organ
dysfunction. It utilizes a variety of techniques, sometimes paralleling
those found in major forms of therapeutic massage, as well as powerful
new points discovered by Tina Sohn.
• This revised and enlarged edition now serves as a textbook for bodyworkers.
•
Accompanied by extensive illustrations and twenty detailed treatments
for a variety of common medical conditions, this teaching guide
explains and demonstrates the proper execution of Amma Therapy
techniques applied directly to the physical body.
• Includes
nutritional and exercise recommendations providing a remarkably
holistic guide for practitioners and students in all fields of
bodywork.

Wholistic Health Education and Research, now a state-accredited college
of wholistic medicine. Located in Syosset, New York, the New Center
College serves as a model for wholistic health care and a school for
future generations of wholistic practitioners. |
