An Amatsu balance is a unique whole body treatment that uses various techniques that feel like soft tissue pressure and mobilisation. Different levels of pressure are applied according to your general health and the specific symptoms of your condition. This can vary from the very gentle and relaxing, to the more firm. Clients report different feelings; ranging from being relaxed or sleepy, to invigorated and energised.

Whilst most treatment is conducted with you laying on your back or front, some treatments may require you to be seated or standing. If you have any injuries or disabilities that impair your ability to adopt these positions, this is something that I can work around.

I will work for varying amounts of times on different parts of your body that may not always seem obviously related to the injury or condition that you presented with. This is because each Balance is tailored to your needs on that day, whilst taking into account the bigger picture of your injury or condition, and the biotensegrity factors affecting it.

Most Clients will feel the difference as soon as they get off the treatment couch at the end of a Balance; while others start to feel the changes over a couple of days. It is not unusual to feel your body standing and moving differently between treatments. Some people may feel tired or have a boost of energy after the treatment, while others comment that they had a positive change in the emotional feelings they were experiencing. You can think of this as your body and physical systems settling into the changes made from your Balance.

It is recommended to keep your body well hydrated after your treatment, and you are advised to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. In some cases, you may be advised to avoid vigorous physical exercise for 24 – 48 hours. I will give you specific advice, in relation to your condition, at the end of each Balance.

There are a number of conditions where I would ask you to seek approval from your doctor before I would treat you. Please ensure that you advise me of all current medical conditions or injuries, as I will then tell you if further authorisation or information is required.

The number of Balances required will always depend on your individual needs.

New clients with chronic conditions (i.e. conditions that they have had for a relatively long period of time) should commit themselves to an initial course of 4 Balances (preferably 7-10 days between each Balance). This will ensure that the musculoskeletal corrections and neural pathway repatterning that will assist in your specific healing, integrate into your natural form and function.

Whilst treatment for specific injury, illness or ailment is immediate, it will be your body’s natural form and balance that will hold the benefits in place. For those in good health or having recovered from a problem, a balance on a regular basis (e.g. one Balance per month) will assist your body in preventing the everyday intrinsic and physical stresses of life from building up within your body.

No. As a cultural norm, people would attend traditional Asian healing modalities as a proactive means of keeping their body and mind in an optimal state of health and wellness. Whereas in Western culture it would be common to visit a doctor or medical professional after falling ill or injured. It would be more common in Asian cultures to attend a healing modality session in order to make it less likely that they would fall ill or injured.

Amatsu will benefit a healthy body and mind by allowing them, and the associated Central Nervous System, to remain in an optimal balanced state, through the gentle and relaxing methods used. In the same way that some people treat themselves to regular massage treatment, Amatsu will bring the same ‘feel-good’ sensation to a healthy client.
