Key Concepts

The First Key Concept is that by nature Anpatha ‘follows’, it doesn’t ‘lead’. This is a very important point that helps ensure clinical safety in the use of all techniques. Using Anpatha on a body is like learning to play a musical instrument and learning the subtle differences between one instrument and another. Anpatha always works with the body and never against it. Like water, it seeks to flow between problems by charting the points of resistance.

The Second Key Concept is the relationship between movement and palpation. The human body is designed for constant movement. Even while asleep our bodies are still in motion. Anpatha uses both the sense of touch and the sense of motion to find alterations to rhythm or variations in strains or tensions. The therapist is trained to recognise problems and to provide a focussed tactile response.

The Third Key Concept is that Anpatha identifies specific movement patterns within the body by using a framework of descriptions and seeks to develop an inner sensory dialogue and reference for developing the practitioner’s sense of touch. Anpatha techniques train the therapist to develop an internal library and memory of movement patterns felt through palpation of the body in motion.

Five Planes of Elemental Tension

Linear planes. - (straight, lines of force)
Directional torsion - (bend, shear, twist)
Radial convolution - (explode/implode)
Deep spirals - (turn/rotate)
Tides - (cycles)

Anpatha sees the body as an expression of a myriad of interdependent compensatory patterns, some of these are of positive value to healthy homeostasis and some have a negative influence. The aim is not to impose a perfect 'norm', rather, it seeks to aid the body's own ability to find the most appropriate balance. In a 'holistic' sense, these physical compensatory patterns are often reflective of many other influences from the mind, body and spirit. We are an expression of our thoughts, emotions and physical experiences.
