According to the Godai, health can only exist when there is a balance between our Physical or Musculo-Skeletal System, Emotional or Mind, Nutritional intake or our food, Energy and our interaction within our environment.

In Amatsu medicine we believe it is important to balance the Godai of the person, rather than the condition, which is a result of an imbalance in a persons Godai. Amatsu recognizes that there are a number of indicators which occur naturally and which give tell-tale signs that the Godai are out of balance. Some of these, such as pain, serve as signs that something is wrong within our bodies. Pain is a signal within our central nervous system that tells us that something has gone wrong.

Prior to the sensation of pain we normally experience loss of normal function. The pain signal can be referred to almost anywhere in the body, for example, organ dysfunction can be referred to the muscles and joints of the body or more specifically heart to chest and left arm pain - gall bladder to left shoulder pain - liver to neck pain etc.

Treating pain with painkillers and an anti-inflammatory agent does not always correct the causative factors and often overloads the liver, which in modern man is already overworked dealing with environmental factors such as pollution, TV, computers etc.

All pain should be investigated to ascertain its true nature and exclude pathological causes first. Once these are ruled out a good diet, musculo-skeletal correction, energy (meridian) balancing, relaxation training and gentle exercise can help to maintain balance and alleviate painful conditions.

In Amatsu clinics we treat the underlying causes, balance the natural factors or Godai and alleviate pain by natural methods.
