Approaching your mind and body with hands-on diagnosis and treatment
IKKYU provides an effective and integrated massage approach that combines various methods and techniques based on a Holistic Human Movement Analysis.
We take time for counselling and examination to clarify the “real cause” of your pain or discomfort.
Many clinics still focus only on the “pain and discomfort area” where clients are suffering at the moment. However, it is just a short-term solution, and this temporary treatment does not lead to a fundamental improvement.
Our treatment is performed by combining multiple treatment theories and technology recognized in Japan and all over the world.
By pursuing “causes of pain” based on anatomy and examining the entire body with “a holistic way of thinking”, we conduct postural & movement analysis/evaluation.
We are teaching self-care exercises to build up a body that is less likely to “relapse” while improving the pain.
A therapist is supposed to improve the chronic pain and discomfort. However that is not enough. I, an Australian certified fitness personal trainer as well, introduce and teach simple self-care exercises regularly that you can do yourself. My specialized style, “three-legged race”, makes it possible to minimize “relapse”.
Flow of treatment at IKKYU
Completion of the confidential client form and counselling
First of all please fill out the confidential client form in order to help us understand your condition. Then we ask you in detail about the pain and discomfort under your worries where, how, and when it started to hurt.
Movement analysis/evaluation
We start by checking what kind of movement causes pain – physical balance and postural condition – based on all information received from the confidential client form and counselling.
Explanation of the current condition and proposed treatment strategy
We also tell you about what kind of balance your current body is in and how it causes the pain.
Begin treatment
We use a gentle massage approach to muscles and fascia while examining the whole body without doing any harsh massage that makes a cracking sound.
Post-treatment check and confirmation of points for daily life
We check the changes before and after the treatment. It is not the end when the pain is gone. We keep aiming to build a body where pain is less likely to recur.
End of treatment
Payment and making an appointment for the next visit. If you have any concerns about the treatment or any issues, please feel free to ask questions.
