About
The Therapy
Amatsu is a movement-oriented therapy based on ancient principles of natural movement, which aims to restore balance to the body. It can be applied to treat many different conditions. Amatsu aims to restore balance to the whole of the body and not simply address the symptoms.
Therapists restore this balance by mobilising the soft tissue, which is made up of ligaments, tendons, muscles, fascia and organs, using gentle pressure.
Amatsu uses a combination of observation, muscle testing and palpation to gather information about your body. The therapist uses different techniques such as massage, mobilisation, visceral work, orthopedic testing, repatterning and cranial balancing used in various combinations depending on the needs of the client.
It aims to restore balance and help to address physical, electrical, emotional, chemical and environmental stresses which impact on everyday life. These are known as the “God-ai”, the “Big 5” and underpin the philosophy of amatsu. The understanding that everything is connected and thus needs to be addressed in order to treat the whole person.
