Testimonials
Wondering if working with Derek is a fit for your needs. See what just a few of his satisfied clients are saying…
I went to Derek not knowing if it would help me but after 15 years of back and leg pain getting surgery and pain management injections that didn’t help I thought it’s worth a try. To say he changed my life is an understatement. I’m pain free and not taking pain killers anymore. I found that he listened to me from the first day. If only I had found out about him all those years ago.
I can’t recommend Derek enough.

I could not recommend Derek more highly, he is the ultimate professional and a real miracle worker, I have often walked in to him in pain and walked out an hour later feeling so much better
Derek is the only person I would go to. He has the ability to tune into whatever ache or pain you have and fix it and is so genuine
Amatsu is non invasive and fixes your body from the inside out

I would highly recommend Derek as I consider him extremely gifted in his profession. I had a lot of shoulder and back pain after an injury but after a few visits to Derek I’m happy to say I’m now pain free with no medication

FAQ
What happens in an inital treatment session?
Initial consultation will involve take a note of your presenting complaint, its symptoms, duration and impact on your life — what it is preventing you from doing in your everyday life, work or sport. Relevant lifestyle factors, age, stress will also be considered. Medical history, medication and old injuries will also be noted.
Does it hurt?
Though Amatsu works deeply and comprehensively it is non-manipulative and mostly gentle and relaxing.
How many sessions will i need?
This is dependent on the complaint or injury, whether it is chronic or acute, lifestyle and history will also be factors. I generally recommend 3 sessions and review from there onwards.
What happens in a treatment?
After an initial discussion and case history taking I will make standing, sitting and lying assessments on your structure — through conducting orthopaedic, motion and reflex tests, muscle and ligament tests. Palpation (feeling for) areas of tension, restriction and inflammation.
This will comprehensively be from the feet to the head as the body works very inter-connectedly and symptoms in one area may cause adaptations or compensations in other areas.
Gentle treatment through the body follows to correct imbalances and resolve pain.
What should I wear?
The treatment is conducted fully clothed. Loose, comfortable clothing is preferred.
