Amatsu is a gentle hands-on, whole body therapy that works with innate intelligence of the body to bring it back into balance. It can help relieve pain and tension in the joints while supporting the body’s natural capacity to adapt, reorganise and move with greater ease and efficiency.
A body out of alignment can create a cascade of problems throughout the whole structure. The symptoms that show up are varied and depend on how the body is adapting to the imbalance, which system is being compromised and how long the imbalance has been there.
Often an old injury that seems unrelated can be the cause of the current pain pattern. For example, an old ankle injury can produce a compensation pattern up the chain that years later can result in chronic hip pain; vertebral misalignment in the mid-spine can effect shoulder mechanics and years later result in a chronically frozen shoulder. There are many examples..

The body is always telling a story. The skill of a good therapist is to midwife that story; to listen deeply to the tissues, to the fascia, to the bones, to the various rhythms and to then facilitate change in collaboration with the body's own innate intelligence.
Amatsu can help with a wide range of conditions. Using various techniques to identify the root cause of discomfort, and then applying principles of a Japanese-style osteopathy, Amatsu gently nudges the whole body back to neurological homeostasis. From there, the body has the capacity to relearn good postural holding habits and gait patterns, and can begin to heal itself more efficiently from this new 'balanced' state.
If you are curious about how Amatsu can help you, please do schedule a free call and we can discuss your case. There is no requirement to book a treatment. It's just a conversation to help you decide if Amatsu is a good fit for you.
