Mike Finegan, Rathfarnham: John has really helped me with longterm back and neck problems. I am now standing and walking better than I have done in years. With John’s treatments it seems less is more - small interventions with big impact - and you always feel great afterwards. I am very grateful for the help he has given me
C Whelan, Wicklow: Fantastic postnatal treatment for me and my little bubs! Thank you John..feel great after it, one step closer to getting back to myself ! My six week old seemed to love it too, am sure it will ease her tummy issues!
S O'Brien, Blessington: Following the birth of my daughter by C-section I left hospital after receiving Ducolax to make me have bowel a movement. Everything seemed fine when I was leaving the hospital and the doctors were happy with everything. In the weeks following the Section I started to have excruciating pain when having bowel movements. I also started to experience very painful, contraction like cramps when trying to passing wind which left me doubled over from the pain of them.
I have suffered from IBS before but have never experienced pain like this. It left me doubled over and in tears. I thought something was seriously wrong as nobody had warned me that this could happen. When I rang the hospital they told me there was nothing they could do as it was due to air getting into my system from the Section and this was perfectly normal. I was told to keep taking the Ducolax and hopefully it would settle down.
After the second bout of severe spasms I was dreading having to go to the toilet. I searched on line to see if I could find any more information on this and found that it was very common and can continue for several months after having a Section.
Having previously been to John to help my IBS I asked him if he could help me as the cramping and pain continued. Due to the Section he worked extremely gently on me to help ease the pain I was in. After a few treatments I was free from pain and my body was back to functionally normally.
A treatment from John is a must for anyone having post-delivery problems. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Liz McGrath, Dublin: This treatment really works and is painless I had treatment throughout my pregnancy and I didn’t suffer from any sickness and I found it great for alleviating pain and discomfort. And now my daughter benefits from it too, she has had treatments from John from almost the day she was born and loves them. It is a great treatment for children and I would recommend John to anyone, young or old.
C O'Dwyer, Dublin: I had an old injury from 20 years ago (my arm had been reattached after an accident which left me with 50% paralysis down one side and a hand that had clawed on two fingers and a thumb).
I came to John to see if he could do anything with it, I had always been very protective over my arm and wouldn’t do a lot of things because of it. I also broke my back in 3 places in the same accident and I was very protective over that too.
John worked on my body as a whole at first and I got a tremendous sense of well- being and it was like my body was floating on air when the session was over. I always remember sleeping very well after the sessions. Depending on where I had pain he would work on that also to unblock it.
A couple of sessions later John began to work on my hand and arm. Over a period of time my arm and hand started to free up and became unblocked. I now have sensation in my arm where I never had before and my hand also became a lot less clawed looking and I can grip and use it with a lot more agility than before.
I am very grateful to John for giving the confidence to reach my full potential.
Ann O'Reilly, Lucan: I have Cerebral Palsy and I am mildly paralysed on my left hand side and my left hand in particular. Since I started Amatsu with John I have noticed a big improvement in my posture and how I use my left hand.
Before I started treatment with John I was able to train my left hand to do certain things but I had to consciously move it. After going for a few treatments with John my left hand started to get stronger and lately I am starting to use it automatically to do things such as picking things up, turning on taps etc. I have also noticed that my left arm has become a lot straighter.
This is an amazing result because I could never do this before. I have had physiotherapy but never got results like that.
My posture has also improved, one of my shoulders was lower than the other this is now corrected. The treatment has also helped me with weight loss. My general health has also improved since I started seeing John for Amatsu, I feel stronger and I am more positive and able to cope much better with stress.
I would highly recommend John and his Amatsu treatments.
M. Jackson, Wicklow: Great Teacher, great Practitioner. I was so lucky to have John share his Amatsu knowledge and skills through the gruelling years of becoming a therapist. Am delighted he is up and running again .. a truly talented intuitive and gentle master of the art….a treatment is a must.
D. Delaney, Dublin: As a tennis player I’ve suffered over the past few years with persistent shoulder and hip injuries due to the wear and tear of the sport. Having tried a succession of physiotherapists I was about to give up hope until I met John. The relief was immediate and after a few sessions I was playing again pain free. I would recommend this therapy for anyone suffering from any type of sports injury. John has given me a new lease of life both on and off the court.
Deirdre Carroll, Chicago, USA: Suffering from migraines since 1996 I have tried many medications to help deal with the excruciating pain. Before seeing John I was taking 16 prescribed tablets a month for relief. My experience of Amatsu is that of a gentle treatment which leaves me feeling lighter in body and mind after each session. My migraines are now infrequent with less intensity lasting 6/7 hours before relief comes instead of two days. I have become very much aware of the tension in my body and I immediately use the techniques John taught me before it builds to a full blown migraine. I am so grateful. I have found Amatsu to be transformative.
So impressed with John's work I brought my daughter who has been diagnosed with ADD and LD to the clinic. I was astounded by John's insight into her condition and could see a difference in her after the first session. John's approach with my daughter was both caring and comforting with some humor thrown in! John provided exercises to help with improving my daughters spatial awareness which we can do at home. He also offered some dietary suggestions. I now feel I have something more to offer my daughter along with the conventional medical treatment she already receives.
M Oman, Dublin: I can really recommend Amatsu as a natural and alternative treatment if you suffer from migraines. I've had Amatsu treatments from John to help alleviate the frequency and severity of the migraine attacks for some years. I've also, with John's help since he achieved his Amatsu teacher status, learned how to recognise when a migraine attack is imminent and how, using his teaching, I can help my body through them. For anyone who knows how migraines can debilitate you, I can say that Amatsu will really help you. From having over 8 -10 severe migraine attacks a year I now could only experience 2 - 3 at most. I would certainly recommend John to you as a skilled, experienced and empathic practitioner and teacher.
E Burton, Rush: Works wonders... well worth a try if you are suffering with any ailments. You won't be disappointed!
