- Back Pain
- Whiplash Injuries
- Shoulder Pain
- Joint Problems
- Knee and Foot Pain
- Sciatic Nerve Pain
- Migraine Headaches
- Digestive Problems
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Stress

There are no hard adjustments in Amatsu and it is suitable for all ages.
Amatsu treats the whole body, not just the symptoms

Amatsu treats the underlying cause of the problem, not just the symptoms; therefore a lower back pain may involve working on the foot, knee or neck as well as the perceived area of pain for the treatment to be effective.

A treatment is known as a ‘balance’.

Most balances are carried out fully clothed.

• The initial session is for an hour; this includes a medical history, lifestyle and health questionnaire. Subsequent sessions are for thirty minutes.
• Observation, palpatation, assessment of mobility and flexibility, muscle testing together with knowledge of anatomy and physiology are utilised to build a comprehensive picture of the torsion or injury.
• Various techniques are used to suit the requirements of each individual.
• Acupressure points are stimulated; this opens neurological pathways and energy meridians.
• Anma massage breaks down fibrous tissues, removes toxins and improves circulation.
• Cranial Balancing: by gently supporting the head and neck, tension is released; this can alleviate sinus problems. Migraines, headaches and stress related conditions.
• Repatterning is used to return the body to the original non-traumatised state.
• When the body is balanced healing can occur at an accelerated rate.
