'The Issues are in the Tissues' ~ Thomas Myers
Amatsu works on fascia, muscle, bone, tendon, ligament, nerves and organs - helping to create conditions for movement to become easier, more integrated, more fluid.
Areas of tissue restriction are identified and then released in order of priority using specific mobilisation techniques. As such the therapy can help with a wide range of symptoms.
Back Pain,
Neck & Shoulder Pain
Hip Pain & Sciatica
Feet, Knee & Ankle injuries
Sprains & Strains
Frozen Shoulder
Trapped Nerve Pain
Sciatic / Piriformis Syndrome
Golfers Elbow
.. and much more.
Amatsu stimulates the body’s innate healing mechanisms, and can help manage the symptoms associated with some chronic conditions.
Amatsu Therapy works with the body’s innate capacity to adapt, regulate and restore balance. For people living with chronic conditions the treatment can provide gentle, supportive care aimed at easing muscular tension and discomfort, maintaining mobility and flexibility, and helping the body move with greater ease.
Rather than treating the condition itself, Amatsu considers how pain, stiffness, altered movement patterns and ongoing physical stress may be affecting the whole body.
Gentle hands-on techniques are used to reduce unnecessary strain, support more efficient movement and help the body make the best use of the resources and capacity it has available.
Amatsu’s gentle, non-invasive approach can help settle an overwhelmed nervous system supporting a shift towards greater regulation, safety and ease during periods of prolonged stress, trauma or nervous-system overload.
