Amatsu treats all layers of the body

Including the bones ~ that are held in position by the soft tissues (ligaments, muscles, fascias) and the ‘biotensegrity’ which help support the bones giving ‘suspension’ to the joints. If these soft tissues become unbalanced this leads to loss of support and misalignment of bones.

The nerve pathways ~ and where they travel through canals between the bones and soft tissues.
If the bones become misaligned this can cause nerve entrapment or loss of glide, leading to loss of function, pain or numbness.

Energy channels (meridians) and the acupoints ~ that carry (qi or ‘life energy’) have been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine systems. Imbalance of these systems can lead to physical and emotional stress and pain and dysfunction of all the body systems.

Craniosacral system and visceral (organ systems) which will be looked at in another post.

All of these systems are affected through injury, emotional, postural, environmental, dietary stress, and need to be managed on a regular basis, to maintain good health and function of the body.
These systems are all addressed during an Amatsu treatment or ‘balance’ by corrections using natural movement (taijutsu) to maintain health and harmony of the body.

Amatsu is a Natural Therapy that has its roots in Traditional Japanese Medicine.

Amatsu principles taught today are from the ancient school, known as ‘Hichi Buku Goshin Jutsu’ which date back over 3,000 years and translates as ‘The secret of the opening flower school for protection of the self’ headed by Grandmaster Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi.

This ancient healing therapy was originally taught alongside the martial arts, as the yin/yang (martial /medicine) of the art, and uses various techniques and natural movement (taijutsu) to help balance various systems of the body to bring about alignment, health and wellbeing.

In 1995 Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi began teaching 3 non-Japanese people (Dennis Bartram, Chris Roworth and William Doolan) this ancient healing system for the first time ever. Amatsu has now successfully been underpinned by modern science and has been shared with people worldwide, to get the benefits of this ancient therapy.

This picture is of Dr Hatsumi teaching Dennis Bartram these healing techniques, demonstrated on Chris Roworth.
