• Amatsu is an ancient Japanese healing art that has only been available outside Japan in the last ten years.

It is a gentle, corrective treatment which aligns and rebalances the body’s structures; maintaining good health for everyone, including children and the elderly.

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.

This combination of techniques is very effective. However, we advise a course of treatments to eliminate both the symptoms and its underlying cause.
