Amatsu is an ancient Japanese physical therapy that treats not just symptoms, but also the root cause of pain and dysfunction. This hands-on therapy works holistically with the entire body—addressing muscles, ligaments, nerves, fascia, bones, the craniosacral system, and even the energetic meridian pathways.
Each session begins with a detailed assessment of the body’s structure and movement patterns. The therapist then applies gentle, natural techniques to restore balance, alignment, and healthy function. Techniques include remedial massage, stretching, joint mobilisation, and guided rehabilitation exercises tailored to your body.
Amatsu is particularly effective for a wide range of conditions including back and neck pain, sciatica, joint injuries, repetitive strain, postural issues, stress-related tension, headaches, digestive discomfort, and low energy.
