the body is always telling a story
A body out of alignment can create a cascade of problems throughout the whole structure leading to reduced overall vitality.
While the body has adapted to a previous injury, it has also created a compensatory pattern that sometimes leads to further trouble.
An old foot or ankle injury, for example, may subtly change the way you bear weight. The body adapts around it, and over time those small changes can influence movement through the knee, hip, pelvis and eventually the spine. Years later, the discomfort can appear some distance from where the pattern began.
Amatsu helps to identify these underlying patterns of compensation, release areas of restriction and encourage the body towards a more unified, balanced and efficient way of moving.
