I qualified as an Amatsu Therapist in 2016 and work at Kokoro Clinic in Donadea, Co Kildare.

Amatsu is a whole-body treatment that works with your body’s soft tissue to address musculo-skeletal pain e.g., muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, organs and craniosacral system. It helps to rebalance key areas such as the spine, joints, bones and cranium. Treatments are suitable for people of all ages and those with limited mobility. Some of the many potential benefits of an Amatsu treatment are:

• Aid recovery from sports injuries
• Back, neck and shoulder complaints
• Helps relieve digestive problems
• Relieve arthritic pain
• Improve circulation to muscles and other soft tissue
• Improve energy levels
• Reduce stress levels
• Injury rehabilitation

I also treat dogs using Canine Amatsu Physical Therapy which operates on the same principle as Amatsu in that it works on your dogs’ soft tissue such as ligaments, muscles and tendons and areas including the spine, joints and bones.

Some of the most common conditions that benefit from Canine Amatsu Physical Therapy may include:

• Arthritis and degenerative joint diseases
• Elbow and hip dysplasia
• Muscle tightness
• Post-surgical recovery of the back, hip, knees and neck
• Soft tissue injuries to ligaments, muscles and tendons
