Amatsu

What is amatsu:

Amatsu is a physical, movement based therapy that restores balance to the body using natural body movement, to correct dysfunction. During a treatment the therapist will assess specific dysfunctions and the most effective way to restore balance back to the whole body with minimum intervention. Therapists restore this balance by mobilising the soft tissue, which is made up of ligaments, tendons, muscles, fascia and organs, using gentle pressure.

The Therapy:

It can last between 30-60 minutes depending on the issues presenting. It is usually carried out fully clothed. The therapist will ask you to remove your belt and shoes usually. A full medical history is taken and any contraindications to treatment will require GP consent to treat. Amatsu treatments are very gentle and non-invasive. Thus, they are suitable for people of any age from the very young to the older person.
