Amatsu massage is an ancient Japanese art of healing that has been used for centuries to promote a healthy mind and body. The word “Amatsu” means “heaven, earth, and man” in Japanese, which reflects the belief that when these three elements are in harmony, a person can experience true healing.
Amatsu massage works by using a combination of gentle joint mobilization, soft tissue manipulation, and energy techniques to balance the body’s physical and energetic systems. It aims to release tension and restore balance, allowing the body's natural healing mechanisms to function more efficiently.
Amatsu massage has many benefits for both physical and emotional well-being, including:
- Relieving muscle tension and pain
- Improving circulation and flexibility
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Boosting the immune system
- Enhancing overall health and vitality
During an Amatsu massage session, you can expect to lie down on a comfortable table while the therapist uses a variety of techniques to assess and treat your body. You may be asked to move or breathe in specific ways to help with the treatment.
Amatsu massage is generally considered safe for most people. However, it is always important to let the therapist know if you have any medical conditions, injuries, or concerns before beginning any treatment.
The length of a session can vary, but typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
You are not required to undress for an Amatsu massage, but it is recommended that you wear loose and comfortable clothing.
It is possible to experience some soreness after an Amatsu massage, but this is typically mild and should subside after a day or two.
The frequency of Amatsu massage sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals. Your therapist can help you create a treatment plan that works best for you.
