Japanese Osteopathy
Japanese osteopathy, known as “seitai,” is a traditional practice deeply rooted in Japan’s medical history, long predating the more commonly known American osteopathic techniques. At Alter Physio, I harness the wisdom of these time-honored principles to address today’s health challenges. Japanese osteopathy is based on the belief that the body is a highly interconnected system, where imbalance in one area can disrupt the whole body. Our aim is to restore harmony and natural balance, leading to improved health and well-being.
Our Unique Approach
Japanese osteopathy at Alter Physio goes beyond treating just the site of pain. Instead, I view the body as a unified system. Often, pain or discomfort is a result of the body compensating for an imbalance or injury elsewhere. Our goal is to identify and address these compensations, restoring your body’s natural equilibrium to help you achieve a pain-free, efficient state of being.
Our treatments are comprehensive, addressing not only muscles but also the nervous system, internal organs, joints, and skeletal structure. Through a detailed, personalized assessment, I identify the root cause of your discomfort. Then, using precise manual therapy techniques, I target these areas to improve function, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being. The ultimate aim is to create an internal environment where natural healing and optimal performance can thrive.
Conditions I Treat
Japanese osteopathy is highly effective in treating a variety of conditions, including:
Musculoskeletal Issues
Pain in the back, neck, shoulders, and joints caused by muscle imbalances, poor posture, or dysfunctional movement patterns.
Nervous System Imbalances
Issues related to stress, fatigue, and nerve pain, all of which can hinder the body’s natural healing process.
Digestive and Organ-Related Discomfort
Discomfort linked to the interaction between internal organ health and the musculoskeletal system.
Chronic Conditions
Persistent pain and discomfort that have not responded to traditional treatments, providing a new avenue for relief and recovery.
At Alter Physio, I seamlessly integrate the traditional wisdom of Japanese osteopathy with modern therapeutic knowledge to offer a holistic, results-oriented treatment. Our approach focuses on addressing the root causes of your issues to restore balance and harmony within your body, helping you live a healthier, more active, and pain-free life.
