Overall Adjustment
(Features of the treatment, differences from other hospitals)

To be able to search where the problem lies
The "membranes (including Fascia)” can be traced by palpation over a wide area of the entire body, thereby locating body restrictions that are contributing to symptoms and problems.
Wide range of treatment targets. From the cranium to the internal organs. From bone structure to blood vessels.
Not only muscles and joints, but also bones and internal organs can be released and relaxed as targets of treatment. Therefore, it has actual results and potential for more complex and difficult problems.
Safe soft touch
It is of utmost importance that the treatment is safe. At our clinic, instead of using “force” or “momentum,” we maximize the use of well-honed hand sensation, so that the treatment is soft and safe.
4)One point that works for the whole body
Even difficult problems that do not get better in the hospital may get better with our treatment.
The reason for this may be related to the fact that the affected areas, including organs, cranium, and face, can be searched from the entire body.
The more people who have gone to various places and almost given up, the more we want them to try this treatment.
Tension and stiffness in the body have an order of influence, and by treating a wider range of influence and deeper points, a single point of treatment can have an effect on the entire body.
It also has the great feature of moving forward without undoing.
You may have experienced in the past that the same points have been treated over and over again and never got better.
Since we are able to examine the “order of influence” on the entire body, in principle, once a point is treated, the treatment is completed in one session and we can move on to the next point.
At our clinic, each point changes the balance of the entire body, so that the maximum effect is achieved with the minimum number of moves.

To be able to search where the problem lies
The entire body is connected from the tip of the toes to the top of the head by fascia and membrane tissue.
This is true for muscles (fascia), bones (periosteum), internal organs (pleura and peritoneum), and intracranial (dura mater and arachnoid), although the names change,
Because they are “connected” as a membrane, if there is a restriction (adhesion or tension in the membrane) anywhere, the restriction pulls on other parts of the body, just as pinching the edge of a bed sheet pulls on everything.
(As an example, this part of the meat is the membrane, by the way.)
As the membranes are pulled, they are compressed in various parts of the body, causing venous, lymphatic, and fluid retention.
This causes the body to accumulate debris (waste) and have more likely inflammation in the body.
And this can cause or aggravate a variety of symptoms, including stiff shoulders and back pain.
For more information on fascia, this NHK feature is very well organized, so please refer to it if you like.
At Seitai Tanigawa, trained palmar senses allow us to follow the membranes of the body as if scanning them, and to find the actual restricted areas throughout the body.
Wide range of treatment areas
Our treatment area is extremely extensive.
In contrast to the general approach that focuses on muscles, our clinic can loosen latent restrictions (stiffened areas) in various parts of the body, including bones, periosteum, ligaments that support internal organs, and cranial dura mater.
This allows for a broad and detailed balancing of the entire body. As shown in the reviews and treatment examples, symptoms that did not improve even in the hospital can sometimes get better!
When approaching the chest (pericardium, pneumatics, etc.) for women, the patient is asked to place his or her own hands on the chest. When treating the uterus or ligaments around the bladder, we will focus on the area of rigidity by transmitting pressure from the lower abdominal area below the navel, so we will not directly touch the sensitive points.
Safe soft touch
It is of utmost importance that the treatment is safe.
At our clinic, we do not rely on "force" or "momentum," but rather use our sharpened hand senses to the maximum extent possible to precisely capture the center (nucleus) of the hardened point.
The smaller the volume squeezed, the less force is required to relax, so even points that may appear risky, such as organs or the cranium, can be relaxed gently and without strain.
The treatment is pressure about the weight of the hand. No acupressure or thrusting is performed.
This minimal force is sufficient to successfully guide the movement within the body, so that the treatment can be performed with little or no external force.
The procedure can be safely performed on everyone from 1 month old to 90s, from pregnant women to cats.
(4) One point that works for the whole body
The tensions in the body are reciprocal, and this has influence relationship like those of a parent-child relationship.
By releasing parental problems (e.g., stomach tension), child problems (e.g., stiff shoulders) will not arise.
Many manual therapy (osteopathic inc.) clinics are unable to examine this priority and therefore continue to treat the same areas over and over (because the child's problems continue to be created by the parent's problems, and therefore revert back).
At our clinic, the area to be treated changes each time.
The treatment to a single point is basically resolved only once, and once released, the area is basically irreversible, allowing the next step to be taken each time.
This allows
Even for difficult problems and symptoms, we can find a cord that improves the body, like unraveling a complicated thread.
In addition, since the points that have a greater range of influence on the body as a whole are treated, they often collectively improve in various ways, and since they are treated in the order of their influence on the body as a whole, they do not return to their original state and can move forward.
Hence, this leads to efficient improvement of the entire body, creating a state in which patients do not need to visit the clinic as often.
The following is a transcription of the above image section (with supplements).
One of the most important characteristics of our treatment is that once an area has been treated, it will not return to its original state (unless it is damaged again). This is because we are able to treat from the point at the root of the influence by individually examining the relationships and influences within the body system.
In the example above, the stiffness around the liver is the most deeply affected point in the entire body. Therefore, by relaxing the perihepatic area, the stiffness around the liver will not reappear (because it is not under tension from other points of the body).
Conversely, for example, if you first loosen the left sacroiliac joint in the lower right of the figure, it will return to its original position (because of the arrows coming from the liver and right ankle, which are under the influence).”
*Note that this relationship and order of influence changes depending on the individual physical situation. It may be easier to understand if you think of a complex tangled thread. What I am trying to say here is that the order of the points to be treated is very important.
The following is a transcription of the above image section (with supplements).
Every time we take the next step. Advancing steadily, one step at a time. By treating the entire body from the highest priority/impact points, we can move to the next step each time. What this means is that the treatment points will change each time.
In the example above, if you first leased the liver, there the area is completed and next.
In this example, the tension around the liver is the most influential point for the entire body, so simply relaxing the liver area will simultaneously relax other points in the body.
After the liver is treated, the pressure/burden on the body is steadily reduced by relaxing the right ankle, left sacroiliac joint, and pericardium in order of priority (in this example).
In other words, once a procedure is done, "the point is not returning back”.
Individually, you can also look for locations related to specific symptoms or for points on the body that are associated with specific problems or performance.
