Massage Program

Massage therapists from the Wellness Resource Center in North Dartmouth now offer on-campus AMMA Shiatsu-style table massage services for UMass Dartmouth students, staff, and faculty.

AMMA (pronounced AHM-MAH) is a Japanese word which means “to calm with the hands”. AMMA massage is done fully clothed, using no oils. The intention of the massage is to facilitate circulation, making it possible for the body’s own healing mechanisms to function effectively.

Massage services will resume for the Fall 2008 semester on September 8th. 

Massages are are available on Mondays from 9:30-11:30 a.m. and 1:30-3:30 p.m.

The cost of a 25 minute massage is $15 for students and $20 for faculty/staff/administrators.
