Healthy life
We care for the bones, joints and muscles, and work to keep the pain from coming back.
Men
Women
The years you can live without health problems limiting daily life are called healthy life expectancy. In Japan it is about 9 years shorter than life expectancy for men and about 12 years for women, and in those years people may need support or care.
Method
We look past the sore spot for the cause, align the skeleton and strengthen weakened muscles.
01
We correct a spine tilted by daily stress or long hours in one posture, on a Thompson table made for chiropractic work. Children and older people alike can have it.
02
Compound high-frequency EMS works the deep muscles that are hard to exercise. Thirty minutes lying down moves the muscles about 9,000 times.
03
So that the work lasts beyond the day, we show you the everyday habits and ways of walking that tilt the body. We also offer shoes and insoles that fit your feet.
Reasons
We look beyond what you feel to the cause of the pain, checking it as we treat. Regular visits help us work towards preventing pain.
We explain the cause of your symptoms and the treatment, then give you advice for daily life and a schedule of visits you can keep.
We work on both a tilted skeleton and strained muscles, and keep in touch on LINE after treatment.
Compound high-frequency EMS works the deep muscles 9,000 times in a 30-minute session. We also combine it with alignment in our Skeletal & Inner Muscle Program.
If you would rather talk to, or be treated by, a woman: a nationally licensed woman practitioner works here.
Near a shopping mall, so you can drop in while shopping. We are open until 8 pm on weekdays and 1 pm on Saturdays, so you can also come after work.
Director
I am Tsuchitani, director of Matsumoto Futaba Sekkotsuin.
Beyond easing pain, we want to help you reach the goals you had given up on — to get better at something, or to take something up again. We align the skeleton, look closely at posture and train the deep muscles whose weakness lies behind lost strength, working towards a healthy body. The foundation of the body is the pelvis and the feet. Our team looks at every angle — conversation, assessment and treatment — to ease your worries. Building trust with you, we face your symptoms together. Please feel free to ask us.

We treat whiplash and other injuries from traffic accidents, and can advise you on the insurance company and the paperwork. In most cases there is nothing to pay at the clinic.
Care
So that good posture and walking last after the pain has eased.
Align the bones, then train the muscles without strain.
Bones and muscles begin to weaken around 40. Even so, the iliopsoas, behind a rounded back, an arched lower back and back pain, can be trained at any age.

Dr.insole 3D, designed by a doctor of health sciences and orthopaedic shoemaker. We measure your foot shape, pressure and gait, take an impression and make the insoles in about two to three weeks.

K.K., woman
I go running and mountain hiking, and I have long been troubled by Morton’s neuroma in my left foot.
Lately, when I ran 7–8 km, or walked for about two hours when hiking, I could tell that the transverse arch of my foot had collapsed completely, and a severe pain shot through the tip of my left foot. I went to various hospitals and tried training, but nothing helped much, and just as I was about to give up I found Matsumoto Futaba Sekkotsuin on the internet. I was drawn by the words “specialists in legs and lower back” and “has a shoe fitter”, so I decided to go. To my surprise, after only two or three visits in which they loosened my feet, I was able to run more than 10 km without any pain at all. I was really astonished. I had been very anxious about the hiking, but I received some advice and decided to go. As a result, using both hiking boots and trail running shoes, I was able to go on two three-day, two-night hikes and see the scenery I had wanted to see. It had been a long time since I had enjoyed walking this much. I have also had insoles custom-made, and have just started using them. I can feel them lifting my arches firmly, and it feels comfortable. There are still mountains I want to visit and marathons I want to run, so I have been given a positive feeling: I will train, with the help of the insoles too. The practitioners are always cheerful and friendly, and very easy to talk to. It is so comfortable that I look forward to going every time.
Woman
A week before a half marathon, I strained the muscle in my right thigh playing mothers’ volleyball.
I had been training hard to set a personal best in the marathon, so I was quite shocked when I was injured. I changed my goal from beating my personal best to simply taking part in the race, and to heal the injury within a week I went to Matsumoto Futaba Sekkotsuin every day after work. Thanks to the director’s treatment and advice, I finished the race on the day without feeling any pain at all. I had nearly given up on the marathon, but I was able to finish it in the best possible way, with a new personal best. I am truly grateful. Thank you.
The staff treated me kindly, and the treatment took place in a bright, enjoyable atmosphere, so I looked forward to going every day. If I am injured again, I would like to come back.
Woman, 50s
My lower back pain started with a minor accident at primary school.
I had got by with one thing and another, but during work in March this year a strong pain left me bedridden for a month and a half. When I had improved a little, I found Matsumoto Futaba Sekkotsuin and another clinic on the internet and compared them. What decided it in the end was the smile of the director, “Tsucchi”. Even getting from the car into the clinic was all I could manage. Day by day I felt easier, thanks to everyone’s smiles and cheerful conversation, and to Tsucchi’s treatment. They helped me get ready in time for my summer work in July and August, and with the help of painkillers and a lower back belt, I managed to see it through. I am still fighting the pain, but I intend to keep coming to Matsumoto Futaba Sekkotsuin and heal little by little. It has not even been three months, yet you have treated me like a friend, like family, and I am grateful. Tsucchi, Ama-chan and Hana-chan are all such fun people, and I would like to meet the other staff too.
