Shindenjutsu works with the ligaments to offer support to the joints whilst gentle positioning coaxes the body towards self correction. This gentle movement orientated approach is at the heart of Amatsu.

In this approach the practitioner's palpation is directed towards the ligaments and soft tissue. The ligaments are employed to spring tensions that become locked into body structures blocking the flow of energy causing pain and discomfort. Shindenjutsu therefore balances the body's ligaments, helps restore organ motility and mobilty and improves meridian balance and restores structural integrity.

Old strains leave a footprint of the injury or illness that continues to malfunction for many years. These archaic patterns lay the foundation for many of the illnesses we encounter especially when our immune systems are lowered with stress. It is precisely these paterns that Shindenjutsu addresses.
