I had a back injury when I was in high school and I took the treatment at the manipulative clinic.
Through the event I was so impressed that the pain got better by the treatment. And it made me realize that I want to become a physical therapist.

After finishing college, I first worked in a rehabilitation hospital.
In my 4th-year working as a physical therapist, I got into yoga a lot, and I noticed that "prevention with yoga is quite better than treatment after an injury or illness".
Then, I quit being a physical therapist to become a yoga instructor in my eighth-year as a physical therapist.

At that time I misunderstood that I must have a flexible body to become a yoga instructor, so I practiced yoga intensely and as a result, I felt pain on my wrist, shoulder, neck, lumbar, and so on.
After getting a yoga teaching license, I got a job at a Pilates studio.
To be honest, I felt disappointed at first, but through the Pilates practice, my shoulder and wrist pain improved.
And I realized little by little that my strict yoga practice style was dangerous.

In Pilates, I found the possibility of preventions ”with theory" that I was searching in yoga.
And I noticed that I didn't have enough knowledge about "orthopedic disease" as a physical therapist.
So, I decided to quit the Pilates Studio immediately, and I started working at an orthopedic clinic as a physical therapist again.
I had many chances to treat patients who have back pain, knee pain, frozen shoulder and so on... But at first, it was so tough for me to treat the patients because I only have experienced working at the rehabilitation hospital for a long time.

In those days, I learned from Mr. Naoto Nakamura (representative of Studio Takt8, physical therapist ) how to assess the whole body of the patient not just only a part of it.
Little by little I was able to treat the patient from a preventive viewpoint.
The learnings from Mr. Nakamura are exactly "my foundation" and I have been learning a lot from him since then.

Meanwhile, I continued yoga and Pilates, but my big complex about "O-leg" and "stoop" had not changed.
Furthermore, there are many yoga and Pilates types so, I tried various types while searching "which is the most theoretical".

Then, I attended the seminar by Mr. Sadaatsu Ishii (Representative of Studio R3, trainer) which was very theoretical so, it became a chance to get out of such a difficult situation.
My "O-leg" and "stoop" are improving little by little after I have started learning under Mr. Ishii.
I'm still learning the "technique of posture improvement based on anatomy" from Mr. Ishii.

As mentioned above, what I specialize in are:
・ Having a "preventive perspective" by checking the whole body
・ Being able to provide "theoretical exercises for posture improvement"

Additionally I want clients to develop their own ability to solve the problem, so I always keep in my mind to:
・ not help the clients too much.
・ be just a guide.
I know that many people would be happy with massage or other passive service and there are many needs, but I believe that I can contribute for the people through that way.

For the people who visited this website, it would be great if I can meet you as a "client" in the studio, not as a "patient" in the hospital.

I am strongly convinced as a physical therapist who deals with serious problems at the hospital, that getting a good posture and movement can prevent future risks.

In addition, if you do it anyway why don't you pursue "beauty" and not only health?
Honestly, my posture is not perfect yet, but I would like to aim for "good posture and beauty" with you!
