I have been troubled by my lower back for at least 25 years. As a farmer my work demands that I can lift both static and moving objects.

Although I was aware that my sister went to see somebody for treatment that helped her knees, I didn't realise that the Amatsu Practitioner could possibly help my back. I had just been told by the Hospital that they wanted to put me on a rack and stretch me out a bit to decompress two discs. This was causing me some alarm and I was sceptical of the potential results. I was equally sceptical on my first visit to the Amatsu Practitioner, however my sister convinced me it was worth a try. I have been extremely pleased by the results. I had to wear a weight lifting belt to help me cope when lifting sheep and dealing with the hay. Now I don't need it at all and even if my back does ache a little at the end of the day, it is ache free and ready to do it all again the next day. An added bonus and in fact an absolute joy was that this year, after 20 years plus of having to wear a back brace when skiing, I was able to ski all day every day, giving my two sons a run for their money. Amatsu is incredible - I don't know how it works, but I am very glad it does.

As a mum with three active children all involved with a variety of sports, injuries are part and parcel of their lives. My eldest daughter now 16 was plagued with a shoulder injury that no amount of physio therapy could help. She had spent approx. one year attending hospital consultants who referred her back to physio but nothing changed. A team mate’s mom recommended Amatsu therapy to me and I figured why not. A practitioner was recommended to me, so I made a phone call. That’s all it took to transform my daughter’s life, how simple.

The therapist explained everything to myself and Danielle as she worked on her, so Danielle could fully understand the areas on the body and how they related to her injury. She also came across some old injuries that hadn’t healed, including a four year old whiplash injury that I presumed was well healed as Danielle had under gone intense physio for this and had been given the all clear. Margaret explained how everything in the body is connected and how one weak link somewhere can affect another unrelated part of the body ,which was the case for Danielle….the old whiplash injury was preventing the shoulder injury to heal properly. After every session Danielle would say ‘Mom I hate when it’s time to leave, I could just stay there forever’… It took just three sessions and Danielle has never looked back. My whole family have attended Amatsu balances now and I recommend our therapist to everyone. Danielle comes in from training or a match and will tell me that she needs a balance as something somewhere in her body feels strange….What a great gift Danielle has been given , to be able to listen to and hear what her body needs.

Amatsu has sorted out my chronic lower back problem when none of the "usual suspects" were able to.

I am now much more balanced both physically and emotionally with an accompanying sense of well being. This has been particularly helpful in dealing with a bereavement in the last year. My practitioner is a straightforward, no-nonsense, person with enormous skill and insight underpinned by many years experience as a senior biomedical scientist working in the NHS

I want to tell everyone that is considering Amatsu to go for it. I've always been a sceptic about alternative/complementary therapies and take a lot of convincing that these alternatives work!

However, two years ago I had major re-constructive surgery to my left foot. I noticed as time passed the ankle area was rigid and stiff, it felt like plastic with no give to it. Some days it was actually difficult to walk because of the associated tendonitis. I was beginning to lose hope of ever feeling comfortable on my feet again and I certainly didn't want further surgery in the hope of easing the situation! I'd had masses of physiotherapy over the intervening years but nothing had really helped! That is until I tried Amatsu under the expert care of my very experienced and knowledgeable practitioner. I could hardly believe the difference, even after the first treatment it felt much looser and more comfortable. Whilst treatment is ongoing I can honestly say Amatsu is the best treatment I've ever had concerning the rehabilitation of my foot. Thank you

I was first told I had Osteoarthritis in 1993. I was 44 years old. I had severe neck and shoulder pain. X-rays showed a Spondylosis.

I was recommended physiotherapy and pain killers. For several years I tried various forms of treatment. My hands and wrists became affected and some of my hobbies such as sewing and knitting became too painful to continue. By 2007, I was on daily doses of Aulin a strong painkiller. I had an accidental fall and although my injuries were not serious, my friend recommended I have Amatsu. I started seeing my Amatsu Practitioner weekly at first but the visits dropped to fortnightly, then monthly and eventually even less frequently. I experienced less pain, stopped taking the painkillers and now see her about once a month. I take no painkillers at all. I attribute this improvement to Amatsu.
