What is Amatsu?

Amatsu is a gentle scientific effective therapy and self-maintenance programme.  Its benefits include relief from a range of injuries and it also complements an active lifestyle in people of all ages. 

For the most part Amatsu is carried out on a treatment couch and you are fully clothed.  Each treatment lasts 30 – 40 minutes.

Amatsu utilises the body’s natural movements to bring about self-correction and to take away interferences of the normal healing process.  Varied pressure is applied as the body is moved through a range of motion in order to realign ligaments, nerves and muscle systems.

TECHNIQUES USED IN AMATSU

Stimulating acupressure points
Muscle testing
Mobilisation and movement
Balancing your energies
Making connections throughout your body
Cranial and sacral balancing
Gentle healing/deep vigorous massage*

*Massage usually included in a double i.e. one hour long session.

History 

Amatsu Tatara means SkyHarbour, literally Divine Residence/God’s Port, and is an amalgamation of martial arts, medicine, philosophy, strategy and religion that has been practised in Japan for over 2000 years.  Its principles and practices have recently been rediscovered in the West and clinically evaluated. 

Margaret Brace is a 3rd generation practitioner, who has trained with direct disciples of Dr Masaaki Hatsumi, the head of the Amatsu tradition in Japan.  

“The human being is the only creature that needs to be taught to move naturally”  Dr Masaaki Hatsumi


After Amatsu

For the best results, please drink at least 1½ litres of water after your treatment.  This will help to flush the toxins trapped in your muscular system.  Having a warm bath or shower will also aid this process.

More specific suggestions will be made after your treatment as to how you can best maintain your vitality. 

Together we can restore your wellbeing, with a little time and application.

What my clients have said:
Case Study A:           
A teenager came to see me complaining that his neck was aching.  After just one treatment, he said “I was surprised that the treatment gave me immediate results, which were long term and beneficial.  I felt taller and my neck no longer hurts”.

Case Study B:                       
A professional musician came to me for relaxation, saying that she had “lots of stress in all aspects of life, both personal and professional.”  After a course of treatments she told me:  “Amatsu helped me with all my mental and physical resources.  As my stress levels went down, so my energy levels went back up”.

Case Study C:
A client in her late seventies came to see me after an operation for a blood clot.  About her treatment she said: “it helped me to regain a sense of balance, and I recovered more quickly.  Very relaxing, and I benefited from the exercise and stretches that normally would be difficult for me to do on my own”.
