Any condition or injury caused to your body will also cause negative imbalances to occur in other areas of your body. This is because your body is an inter-linked system throughout so a negative effect in one area will have a negative effect in another area.
The solution is an integrated treatment approach which focuses on the balance of your whole body to restore health and prevent further imbalances from taking root.
Traditional Japanese medicine (TJM) provided by Amatsuhealth is a medical approach combining physical, energy, nutritional, emotional and environmental medicine in a holistic way, to balance the person rather than just the condition.
This natural movement orientated therapy works with your bodies natural agencies to correct and align injuries, sites, and postural faults to enhance your movement performance.
TJM integrates Physical medicine, Emotional medicine, Energy medicine, Chemical medicine and Environmental/Spiritual medicine, for prevention, recovery and enhancement. TJM has many guidance and philosophical principles, for health, mobility and life.
Modern medicine, complimentary, alternative and what is often termed mainstream or biomedicine often focuses on just one area of your body often the area of injury or pain and in many cases only focuses on individual parts within each of these, for example we now have doctors/practitioners who specialise in just our physical health or our emotional/mind health, our urinary system, our digestive system, nutrition, etc… These specialists do very good work and often help to save our lives.
However, the food we eat, the thoughts that go through our mind, the flow of energy around our body, the conditions we live and work within, the way we use our mind and body, affects our health and mobility.
Amatsuhealth TJM treatment is therefore directed to the balance of your whole body. This integrated and natural approach assists your body in restoring balance and harmony, within each part at the same time as restoring the integrated balance and harmony of your whole body.
For example in clinical practice, a person with a back pain/condition is treated locally – the area of the pain/condition. Whilst also ‘balancing’ the energy system, harmonizing of the internal organs, calming of the mind, advice on the foods to eat and avoid and the ‘teaching’ of specific ‘exercises’ to assist in prevention and recovery. Therefore all Physical treatment includes the balancing of all five of these areas. Simply put, if a person has a stiff neck, then this is treated whilst also treating/balancing the hara (belly and pelvis) the feet, the hands and the spine.
How does Traditional Japanese Medicine work?
Traditional Japanese Medicine works by balancing five areas of your body (known as the GODAI), they are your:
• Physical
• Emotions
• Energy
• Nutrition
• Environmental
It is a natural law that all of these are deeply interlinked and if one of the Godai´s balance is lost the others will follow one after another. So what we do at Amatsuhealth is to diagnose all five and then restore balance in them, not only in one or even worse in parts of one like some medical therapies do. This has the effect of offering true long term health benefits as well as prevention of ill health in the first instance.
