Amatsu therapy is a light touch treatment developed by Japanese practitioners to correct issues with the connective tissues, fascia, muscles, and other soft tissues in the body. The basics of this form of treatment come from ancient practices to reduce pain and improve the well-being of the patient. This form of therapy uses pressure points, light touch, body movement, and friction to ease pain, assist in injury recovery, improve flexibility, and
straighten posture
for overall good health and wellness.
Using the Amatsu therapy techniques requires hands-on practice, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate well with patients. I can use this treatment to make you feel better, digest food better, release workout pain, and realign tissues and muscles. When you have constant pain, a chronic health condition, or problems with moving, the Amatsu technique can help you get well and feel better.
This treatment uses the natural motion of the body to provide a holistic approach to pain relief and general function. This therapy comes from the Godai, a Japanese belief. This treatment is common in Buddhism and Hinduism. The Japanese believe that five elements, fire, earth, wind, water, and thunder control the body. You might recognize statues representing the Godai in front of temples or Zen gardens. The lanterns always point to the sky and feature five sections honoring the elements.
Amatsu massage looks at the connection between the entire mind and body to find problems that relate to pain, stiffness, swelling, immobility, and disease of body parts. This treatment is backed with scientific evidence of the benefits it poses. Because Amatsu massage requires a deep focus, it takes someone who has an in-depth knowledge of the practice to provide the best benefits.
Using little force, our licensed therapist can manipulate the soft tissues of the body and find the source of deep or chronic problems. Taijutsu is the name of this practice, meaning naturally moving the body. This method of movement is one of the aspects setting this massage style apart from other body rub therapies.
Only a qualified and skillful practitioner can form a deep connection necessary between the body parts and the whole person. My goal is to offer a variety of massage therapies to ensure you get the best possible results for lasting wellness and symptom relief.
