Amatsu therapy

Amatsu is an ancient Japanese physical therapy which has evolved with modern western orthopaedic techniques. It restores balance (biotensegrity) to the body using natural movement (taijutsu) to correct anatomical dysfunctions.

Amatsu uses diagnostic tools including muscle testing and orthopaedic testing to understand and explain the problems within the body. During the treatment, I will assess specific dysfunctions and the most effective way to restore balance to the body with minimal intervention.

This is possible because of the application of Taijutsu, which is one of the reasons why Amatsu is unique. Taijutsu or natural body movement is used by the practitioner to induce movement in the client which then facilitates a deeper level of integrated, whole-body correction.

Anma allows us to work with the muscles and bones. Amatsu helps to release tensions within the muscles, allowing the bones to move freely without restrictions. Seitai works by reintegrating healthy movement patterns back into ligaments and fascia. This is the passed on to the muscles and creates space within the body and its main joints.

What should I wear?
Amatsu is a fully clothed therapy. You should wear loose comfortable clothing. Please do not wear jeans or tight-fitting clothing.

What should I do after a treatment?
After treatment, your body will need time to adjust and rectify itself. To get the best result from your treatment, try to avoid heading straight back into a busy and stressful schedule. Some will feel so refreshed and relaxed afterwards they need to sleep. You may experience some muscle soreness. This may change after each treatment and depend on the individuals’ problem. Drink plenty of water after a treatment.
