Traditional Amma Massage in Candiac
Discover the benefits of the Traditional Amma Massage at our clinic in Candiac and treat yourself to a moment of deep reconnection through an ancient approach that combines therapeutic touch and energetic balance.
What is Traditional Amma Massage?
The Traditional Amma Massage, offered by La Pause Yoga et Massothérapie, is an ancient practice originating from Japan, meaning “calm through touch.” This massage is distinguished by its dynamic techniques that blend reflexology and shiatsu, aiming to restore the body’s energetic balance while providing both physical and mental relaxation. By stimulating specific points along the body’s meridians (the energy channels of the body), the massage releases tension and promotes the smooth flow of vital energy (Qi).
Unlike other types of massage, Amma is performed without oils, allowing clients to remain clothed or covered with a sheet. The rhythmic and varied movements include pressure, stretches, and tapping, creating a fluid experience that reconnects the body to its natural energy.
Benefits of Traditional Amma Massage
The Traditional Amma Massage offers a range of benefits for both the body and mind, including:
- Reduction of stress and anxiety: By activating the parasympathetic nervous system, it helps lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone), promoting a sense of calm and general well-being.
- Relief of muscle tension: This massage works deeply on muscles and connective tissues, relieving tightness and physical discomfort.
- Improvement of energy circulation: By stimulating the meridians, it helps restore a harmonious flow of vital energy, strengthening the immune system.
- Emotional and mental balance: By releasing energetic blockages, this treatment helps to soothe the mind, making it easier to manage stress and improving mental clarity.
- Energizing and relaxing effect: The Amma massage provides both a boost of energy and deep relaxation, ideal for facing daily challenges.
And many more.
The Traditional Amma Massage is a powerful therapeutic treatment for restoring energetic balance and easing physical and mental tension. If these benefits appeal to you, visit us for a Traditional Amma Massage session in Candiac, or explore our other types of massages!

How a Session Works
Our Traditional Amma Massage therapists at La Pause Yoga et Massothérapie are known for their expertise and attentive approach. During the session, rhythmic pressures are applied along the body’s meridians, using various techniques such as tapping, stretching, and sweeping motions. These techniques help to release tension and harmonize the flow of energy.
The massage is performed without oils, and you can choose to remain clothed or covered with a light sheet, depending on your preference. The movements are fluid and rhythmic, providing an immediate sensation of well-being. At the end of the session, a period of rest is provided to allow your body to fully absorb the benefits of the treatment.
