Kobido is a unique form of massage art that means 'the ancient way to beauty'. It is a ritual, subject to strict rules, based on the tradition of Chinese medicine, known as "amma" (in literal translation - pressing and rubbing). It was imported to Japan around the 14th century AD.
Kobido is one of the oldest massages in the world. According to legend, this ritual was the result of a fight between two masters of amma massage. After the competition, which lasted for several months, without the winner's decision, the two teachers decided to unite their talents to create a new facial massage technique - Kobido.
Over the next few centuries, only the imperial family incorporated her into their habits and enjoyed exceptional benefits. Fortunately, this restriction has been lifted over time. Today, the Kobido massage technique is becoming more and more popular.
Massage is a deep combination of traditional Japanese medical concepts and various hand manipulation techniques. It is mainly characterized by the speed of hands and fingers. The speed at which the therapist performs the massage and all stages tends to interact in various aspects. When the movement is slow, the client is supposed to relax, and the intensive massage steps are to stimulate the skin and the production of skin ingredients to achieve the desired lifting effect.

It should be noted that the Kobido massage should never cause pain, although specialized techniques, i.e. quick hands "flying" over the client's face are felt on the border of the pain stimulus. The goal of Japanese facial massage is to accurately and precisely determine the condition of the skin and work on acupressure points to achieve balance in the skin of the face, muscles of the face and related body. For example, the vibration technique, which is performed with rapid shaking of hands and fingers, is commonly used to reduce muscle tone and quickly release toxins from the lymphatic system.
The massage activates the facial nerves and thus increases the flow of Qi (energy) on the face, which leads to a natural lifting effect.

Most facial massage methods work on the surface of the face. Kobido, through its complexity and intensity of techniques, works on the deeper layers of our skin and muscles. This is the most technically advanced form of Japanese facial massage in Japan, if not in the world. It can be said that Kobido has the largest number and the most complex set of manual techniques.
