The human body is an amazing piece of engineering – Nika firmly believes we owe it to ourselves to keep it well, fit and balanced. Essentially running as smoothly as nature intended.
The knowledge gained on Nika’s Amatsu Therapy studies, combined with her own life experience gives her access to an understanding of client’s needs and a clear route to a resolution for them. She prides herself on working with the client to empower them to become part of the programme of treatment. By educating them on the contribution that they can make to their own recovery, thus stabilising them, resulting in restoration of function, reduction of pain, inflammation and a return to good health.
