How the Amari Method works
Amari helps you reduce pain and move more freely, so you can do more of what you enjoy. We work with you to find which movements bring relief and how to use them.
The method is built around eight core protocols. They give us different ways to work with your body, from supported positions to more active movement. How we use them depends on what brought you in and what you feel as we work together.
We guide you as you explore how different movements feel to you. You tell us what you notice, and we adapt the work together to find what helps you get relief and move more freely.
We might help you engage the muscles around your shoulder blades while keeping your elbows soft, or change your position so you can move without straining. Hands-on support helps you feel what has changed. Your response tells us whether to stay with it or try something else.
He's guiding me to find my own balance in order to relieve the unnecessary, painful tension that's lived in my body for so many years.
You don't have to know what your body needs before you arrive.
These are movements we return to and refine as your body changes. A familiar protocol can feel different with another setup or a smaller movement. We help you recognize those differences and use them.
As we work together, you learn what your pain is telling you through how it responds to movement. You start to recognize which positions bring relief, when to soften or engage, and how to make a movement work for you.
With practice, you can choose and adapt those movements yourself, wherever you are. You develop ways to respond to your pain and help yourself heal, with guidance as you learn.
A first session can bring substantial pain relief or make a restricted movement feel freer. Further sessions give us time to build on those changes and help you return to movements you've been avoiding. How quickly that happens varies from person to person.
