Colm - Amatsu Therapist

Some of you know me as Colm McArdle, some as Zenshinamatsu, some as The Amatsu guy, some as “there’s a mad lad out in tullyallen, i don't know what he does but he’s great”, whatever you know me as I’m eternally grateful for your patronage and trust over the years, I do what I do with a health dose of irreverence, good humor and a smile on my face all backed by a competency and passion that few will match.

For those who don’t know me, maybe it’s time you took the plunge, made a call and booked an appointment to see what i can do for you, the least you’ll get is a giggle the most you’ll get is your body and health back...

Zenshin Amatsu

Established over 13 years ago and resident in Tullyallen village for the last 10 years
Zenshinamatsu is finally moving to a new home in Drogheda to become part of
MyoBodyBalance. It’s a huge step forward and one that has been in the planning for
several years now.


Having built a reputation over the last 10 years plus with an exceptional therapy
modality that I believe speaks for itself and is applicable to a huge range of ailments
conditions and injuries, I’m delighted to be taking the next step into a bigger location
with some incredibly talented therapists to broaden the appeal and access to Amatsu in
the north east.


It’s been a wonderful journey so far that I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I’m passionate
about what I do and I hope that comes across to everyone who crosses the threshold of
the clinic. This new project will allow me to develop that passion as the clinic, its
philosophy and its success grows.

So what is Amatsu and how can it help?

Amatsu is a whole body treatment that uses the soft tissues of the body to realign or balance the body’s overall structure.
So whether you’ve got a sore toe, a bad knee, pain in the hip, a back that feels like it’s going to break, shoulders that are made of stone, a neck that moves about as much as a granite pillar, headaches that could be used as a legitimate form of torture or any of the myriad of pains, aches, ailments, injuries or stresses that we seem to pick up and endure these days then Amatsu is for you !


It’s a gentle treatment but it’s also a very dynamic treatment, its origins are based in Japanese osteopathy and the reverse engineering of budo and ninjutsu which basically means it’s focus is on unraveling a body and putting it back together. It’s so gentle that it is suitable for all age’s whether you’re 6 weeks old or 99 years young and it’s so dynamic that if you’ve been told by your doctor or physio that there’s no more they can do then chances are we can help.

While the origins are Japanese, the grounding, philosophy and application of the therapy are firmly supported by modern western medical science and the therapy is constantly progressing and adapting in line with current global medical research and changes to best practice. In short, if you’re in pain, if nobody seems to be listening, if you instinctively know that there has to be a better way, then you need to be here, Amatsu is for you ….

If you don’t see yourself on the list then call me and ask. I’m always happy to help..
