Post Graduate courses by Amatsu Association of Ireland and CTHA
The Amatsu Association of Ireland trains and accredits amatsu practitioners in Ireland.
Amatsu is a modern interpretation of an ancient Japanese physical therapy. Amatsu originated more than 5,000 years ago. Its fundamental principle is that good health requires balance within the body and the mind. In addition, amatsu pays attention to what people eat and drink, and how they interact with the world.
Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, Dennis Bartram and William Doolan pioneered the development of Amatsu in the West.
William Doolan, who practices in Dun Laoghaire, is one of the foremost Amatsu teachers and practitioners in the Western World. As a result, Ireland is to the forefront of Amatsu therapy in Europe. It is home to one of the few teaching centres outside of Japan.
The Amatsu Association of Ireland represents recognised Amatsu therapists who have completed a comprehensive study, training and experience programme. It is affiliated to the Federation of Irish Complementary Therapy Associations.
