Our Practitioners
Amatsu and Shockwave therapy Practitioner:
Sima Gata-Aura (MCThA, ITEC, AJIM)
Realign Your Body with Amatsu Therapy
07479 554412
Sima is our resident Amatsu practitioner, bringing over 30 years' experience in musculoskeletal practice, sports injuries and massage therapy.
Sima's journey with Amatsu began in 2007 following a life-changing car accident that temporarily left her paralysed from the neck down. Although some neurological function returned within days, she was left with persistent numbness in her left arm, significantly affecting her work and quality of life. After limited improvement through other approaches, she was introduced to Amatsu, which led to a significant recovery and inspired her to train in the discipline.
Amatsu works by realigning the body's structure, re-patterning the neuro-muscular system and supporting the body's natural ability to restore balance and function.
Sima also considers the impact of physical and emotional stress, as well as long-standing injury patterns that can develop over time, including those related to trauma experienced from childhood into adulthood. These patterns may manifest in the body as pain, restriction or dysfunction, often reflecting the cumulative effects of stress and unresolved experiences. By addressing these underlying influences, her aim is to support improved movement, balance and long-term wellbeing.
Radial Shockwave Therapy
Sima also offers Radial Shockwave Therapy, a clinically proven, non-invasive treatment that supports healing in chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions. It is particularly effective for persistent conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis and golfer's elbow, and shoulder tendinopathies.
