Physical Therapist, Amatsu, Injury and Massage Practitioner
I have been practising Amatsu and Massage Therapy, at the Rathmichael Clinic in Shankill, since 2010.
Amatsu is a non-invasive gentle realignment and rebalancing of the body and so is suitable for a wide range of people and difficulties. It works with the body, promoting self-healing. Amatsu restores the body's ability to heal itself through the gentle movement of soft tissues, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints etc.
I treat muscular and skeletal problems (e.g. joint, postural, nerve and mobility problems), sports and accident related issues, stress problems and other disorders (e.g. arthritis, IBS, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia).
I have studied directly with Dennis Bartram, Principle Teacher and Researcher of Amatsu, who was responsible with Billy Doolan for bringing Amatsu to UK and Ireland, and I regularly train (and CPD) in Ireland and England.
I am passionate about continuing learning new techniques and complimentary therapies to help people. I have studied and use various other techniques such as: Trigger Points, Fascia Releasing, Feldenkrais Method, Reiki healing, Total Body Modification, Barral Technique.
I am a fully registered member of the Register Of Soft Tissue Therapists Of Ireland (ROSTI), Amastu Association of Ireland (A.A.I.) and Amatsu Therapy Association (A.T.A.). I am also a Reiki Master and ITEC qualified in Holistic Massage.
