Amatsu Therapy
Amatsu is a holistic therapeutic approach based on principles of Japanese movement and traditional medicine. It incorporates a blend of ancient wisdom and modern science to restore balance, alignment, and harmony within the body. The therapy uses gentle, hands-on techniques to assess and treat the body as a whole, addressing physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances.
​
Amatsu is an exciting new form of manual therapy based on Japanese martial arts, adapted by osteopaths and backed by science. Using mobilisations and acupressure points, Amatsu aligns and balances your body without cracking, crunching or needles. Amatsu repositions the body so the skeleton floats within the musculature. This enables your muscles to function efficiently and your joints to be in the correct position to cushion you as they were designed, thus alleviating aches and pains. This treatment is helpful with repetitive strain and sports injuries as well as migranes, stress relief and realigning the pelvis post partem. Amatsu keeps you sharp and focused in your daily life by clearing blockages to neurological pathways, creating space for good circulation and lymphatic drainage and getting more oxygen throughout your body.
