Introduction & Background I discovered Amatsu therapy when I went to a practitioner for help with a long term shoulder problem. I was impressed with the approach to the problem which took into account the entire body position and worked a lot on the front of the body (which many therapies do not concentrate on). My practitioner knew without me telling her that I had digestive problems and within 6 months I was relieved of 12 years of IBS which no other professional had been able to help me with. Already a body-worker, I decided to research amatsu and have studied to become a practitioner.
