Anma Fascia Massage Tool by Jane Mann

$70.00

I have to admit I am a lover of facial massage tools. I use my hands all day at work to massage my client's faces and appreciate being able to more easily massage my own face. And let's face it, the angles are never the same when massaging my own face so tools help me out a lot.

I take the Anma with me into the infrared sauna to use on my whole body when I go but for every day use, I'm usually giving myself a scalp massage with it. Once or twice a week I like to give myself a hair oil treatment as a pre cleanse on wash day and the whole ritual is enhanced with a scalp massage. Even without the whole hair oiling ritual, I try to give myself a scalp massage once a day to help increase the circulation to my scalp.

It feels amazing.

Our scalp gathers so much tension over the years and this tool provides a very good release of the aponeurosis, or connective tissue sheath that covers most of our head. This can help with tension headaches and increase hair growth.

With the contours of the Anma, you can really get in behind and in front of our ears to release the superficial fascia which increases lymphatic drainage. But the best place I love to use it is on the occipital area, a place where I hold so much tension. The occipital area has a lot going on with multiple muscles overlapping each other and the more we work to release it, the better lymphatic drainage we will have and that's always a good thing.

Anma Massage: The Fascia Massaging Miracle

If you want to soften those frown lines and wrinkles around the mouth or give your eyebrows a good lift, the Anma is a myofascial release tool that can accomplish what basic skincare cannot. This facial massage tool creates circulation that not only delivers collagen, elastin, and plumping hyaluronic acid to your skin, but it also allows the facial fascia to return to a more relaxed, healthy state.

Utilizing an ancient Japanese massage technique, the Anma (Awn-Mah) massage tool is used for lymphatic drainage and fascia release. Fascia is an important protective layer of connective tissue around your muscles.

Unfortunately, with time it can get a little too stiff and tough. The Anma's perfect shapes and contours help give these tissues a luxurious massage. I am in love with this little tool even for massaging the entire body.

BPA-Free Plastic; Instruction Manual Included.

For fascia to release more quickly, it’s best to use it while your body is warm, such as after a shower, an exercise session, or time spent in a sauna.

Although it might seem like working the surface of the skin over very rigorously might produce the best results, the opposite is actually true. The more lightly you use the Anma, the more deeply the fascia releases.

The Anma should be used with very light pressure and can be used with a number of different mediums like facial oils and/or balms.

Lower Face & Neck

First stimulate the jawline by using the handle of Anma to gently sweep down the neck towards the collarbones. Repeat till you feel the tension release in this area. Then to finish rub the fingers of the Anma in gentle circular motions above the collarbone moving towards the outside of the body.

Mid Face (Jaw/Cheek/Chin)

Move the Anma lightly back and forth over the cheekbone and up and down the side of the jaw. If you have TMJ issues, you can slowly increase the pressure to help relieve any tightness in this area. Next try pressing the thumb of the Anma into the pressure point of the jaw. Hold a few seconds then move gently up and down.

Eyes

Sandwich the brow between the fingers of the Anma and move back and forth gently in a windshield wiper motion. After you feel the tension in this area release, press the thumbs of the Anma into the pressure points of the eye area. Repeat the first and second process until you feel the tension in this area lessen. Massage under the eye along the orbital rim by gently moving the Anma towards the temples.

Forehead & Scalp

Hold the Anma and massage the forehead lightly, vertically and horizontally. Move all the way up to the scalp. Repeat the movement for 3 minutes, or until the skin becomes warm.

Cleanse your Anma with a gentle cleanser after each use and store it in the provided bag. Detailed instructions with pictures are included with each purchase.
