Anma Koho Anma - traditional Anma
Japanese massage, acupressure and reflex points. This promotes repair and the restoration of normal function by releasing muscle tensions, restoring vital energy and improving drainage creating a state of health and vitality.
Seitai: Japanese body realignment and neuromuscular rebalancing. This works on the biomechanical and energetic relationships that exist between the head /neck, spine, pelvis and the feet, to restore alignment and balance throughout the structure of the body to restore natural health, reducing stress and body strain and increasing coordination.
Kuatsu-ho (Kyusho & Tsubo / Sappo & Kappo) Vital points - emergency methods of resuscitation and revival.
Seikotsu: Japanese Skeletal Manipulation balances the body by correcting restrictions and misalignments to the skeletal joints. Dr Hatsumi stated that all illnesses have something to do with the abnormality of the spine. Restrictions in the joints create stagnation inhibiting the free flow of vital energy (Ki)
Hari: Japanese Acupuncture, to maintain the balanced and free flow of 'Ki' within the body and to the vital organs. Acupuncture is internationally recognised as a powerful therapeutic treatment for a wide range of conditions. Moxa (herbal heat treatment) is also be used in cold or chronic conditions.

Ampuku: Japanese abdominal / visceral technique used for diagnosis and treatment of the internal organs.
Kampo: Japanese Herbal Medicine. Specific herbs are used to raise the weakened constitution and to combat disease of the body and vital organs.
Kiko: Japanese Ki (bio-energy) healing. Used to remove blockages in vital energy and to restore the body's innate energetic balance and resonance.
