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

Drawing on the body’spower to heal.

We look past the sore spot for the cause, align the skeleton and strengthen weakened muscles.

  1. 01

    Align the skeleton

    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.

  2. 02

    Strengthen weakened muscles

    Compound high-frequency EMS works the deep muscles that are hard to exercise. Thirty minutes lying down moves the muscles about 9,000 times.

  3. 03

    Rethink posture and walking

    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.

People whocome to us.

  • Pain that does not go away
  • Pain that has come back
  • Wanting to keep your legs strong and avoid metabolic syndrome
  • Wanting advice on foot pain or shoes
  • Concerned about the alignment of your skeleton
  • Wanting to build strength without strain

    We work on both a tilted skeleton and strained muscles, and keep in touch on LINE after treatment.

  4. 04

    Deep-muscle training without strain

    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.

More about our treatment

Voices

In our patients’ words.

These are personal impressions and do not guarantee any result.

I am glad my body feels more comfortable than it did two years ago.

Woman, 30sOkubo Sekkotsuin

The first time I came was about two years ago.

I had pain at the base of my big toe and was having trouble because I could not put on shoes, but it had cleared up as the treatment went on.

My assigned practitioner changed over time and I felt uneasy, but the female reception staff spoke to me gently, and that eased my anxiety.

At the moment I have a bad stiff shoulder, and they are focusing on that in my treatment.

My body is gradually getting easier, and I am glad.

Business trips are no longer a burden.

Man, 30sOkubo Sekkotsuin

I have been coming for two or three years now.

At first I sometimes had days of severe headaches from a stiff neck, and at times I took time off work. It has improved considerably since I started coming, and I am no longer troubled by headaches.

These days I keep coming as body maintenance.

The clinic is bright inside, and everyone seems to enjoy their work, so it is easy to come. I look forward to your continued care.

I am back at work, and daily life is almost back to normal.

I.Y.Okubo Sekkotsuin

Looking back now, the symptoms had been there for quite a long time.

Perhaps I had been pretending not to notice, telling myself, “I can walk. I can move. I can work. So I’m fine.”

I suddenly felt pain in my buttock and went to be examined. On the first day, a walk that should have taken about ten minutes took me many times as long, but I somehow managed to get there on foot. After that I went to the clinic by taxi.

I could barely walk. Standing was hard, and so was sitting. It hurt even lying down, and I had to steel myself before turning over in bed.

I could not manage housework, work or my hobbies, and I thought this state might go on forever.

The director’s assessment was that my pelvis and hip joints were out of alignment, and the deep muscles had become stiff and knotted.

In the photo taken on the first day, my right shoulder was lower, and my waist, conversely, dropped on the left.

At first there was inflammation, so treatment was given with the affected area cooled with ice.

Manual therapy, chiropractic care on a Thompson table, and Raku-tore (EMS muscle training) to work the inner muscles.

I went every day for about two weeks, and now I go twice a week.

I have returned to work, and my daily life has almost gone back to normal.

Even so, one thing has stayed with me to the end: a feeling that makes me want to tap the side of the top of my leg, where it joins the body. That is the hip joint. This odd feeling had been there for a long time. I am told that this is where the real start begins.

I must keep going until this discomfort is gone too. Thank you, and I look forward to your continued care.
