Having a safe space to talk, share concerns, and seek guidance is truly important.

If you feel unsure about your condition or don’t know how to improve it, please feel free to reach out.

The era where “everyone can simply live a long and healthy life” has already come to an end.
In Japan, the number of people suffering from cancer, chronic illness, and difficult diseases continues to increase, and health issues are becoming more serious every year.

As a healthcare professional, I constantly reflect on the question:
“What can I do for Japan, for my community, and for the people who need support?”

With this mission in mind, I provide treatment and wellness education not only in Sano, but in various regions as part of community health initiatives.

My goal is to support each person according to their individual needs and help them achieve true, long-term improvement, not just temporary relief.
Together, we will work toward restoring your body’s natural balance and building a healthier future.

At Ryu Healing, we provide three main services: body adjustment, life consulting, and Pilates.
Our approach supports both your physical health and the important choices in your life.
All services are easy to understand and comfortable for English-speaking residents as well.

Chiropractic / Body Adjustment

The body adjustment service at Ryu Healing focuses on realigning the body, easing pain and tension, and improving posture from the root.
We begin with careful consultation and posture assessment, then provide gentle, hands-on techniques tailored to your individual condition.

Common issues we address include:
lower back pain, shoulder and neck stiffness, headaches, rounded posture, pelvic imbalance, fatigue, and postpartum discomfort.

Our goal is not just temporary relief, but lasting improvement in how your body moves and feels in everyday life.
We also provide simple self-care and posture advice to help you continue improving outside of your sessions.

Life & Wellness Consulting

At Ryu Healing, our consulting service supports not only your physical health but also the important decisions and challenges in your daily life.
Many people struggle with uncertainty—choosing a new home, selecting reliable medical care, navigating work changes, or managing relationships and family matters. These moments can create stress and leave you unsure of what direction to take.

In our sessions, we listen carefully to your concerns and explore solutions together, considering both your physical condition and personal values.
Rather than offering simple advice, we help you clarify your direction and create a path forward that feels right for you.

By caring for both the body and the mind, this consulting service aims to guide you toward a more balanced, confident, and fulfilling life.

Pilates (Private Session)

Our Pilates sessions support better posture, core strength, and overall body balance through controlled, mindful movement. Each session is conducted one-on-one, allowing you to learn at your own pace with clear, personalized guidance.

Pilates offers a wide range of benefits, such as improving posture and alignment, strengthening the core, increasing flexibility and mobility, and reducing tension and chronic discomfort. Because it is gentle and beginner-friendly, Pilates is suitable for anyone who wants to move more comfortably in daily life. When combined with our body adjustment service, it promotes long-term stability and helps create a body that feels lighter and easier to use.

Below is the basic treatment flow at Ryu Healing.
Our goal is to help you live your life without pain—without having to endure discomfort or limit your daily activities.

Consultation

We begin with a careful and compassionate consultation.
We listen to when your pain started, what situations make it worse, what worries or concerns you have, and how your discomfort affects your daily life.
Please feel free to share anything—you can speak openly and without hesitation.

Assessment

Based on the consultation and your questionnaire, we perform a specialized evaluation method unique to our clinic.
This allows us to identify the root cause of your lower back pain and understand why your symptoms are occurring.

Explanation Before Treatment

Next, we explain the current condition of your body, including how your pelvic alignment and joint balance may be contributing to your pain.
We make sure you fully understand the findings, and we discuss the recommended frequency and expected duration of future treatments.

Treatment

We use our original “Fascia Adjustment Method,” a gentle technique performed only at Ryu Healing.
The treatment is painless and focuses on balancing the pelvis along with other joints throughout the body.
Many clients find the session so relaxing that they fall asleep.
You can simply relax and let your body release tension as we support its natural recovery.

What kind of treatment do you provide?

Unlike many chiropractic or bodywork clinics that use strong cracking or twisting techniques, our approach is gentle and focused on the muscles, fascia, and internal organs. Most clients find the treatment so relaxing that they become sleepy during the session. You can simply relax and enjoy the experience.

Does the treatment hurt?

No, not at all.
We do not use forceful or painful methods. The treatment is performed with comfortable, gentle pressure that allows your body to relax.
If you feel nervous or unsure, we will talk with you beforehand and proceed at a pace that feels safe and comfortable.

What is the process for first-time visitors?

During your first visit, we begin with a consultation and assessment to understand your current condition and identify the possible causes of your discomfort.
We will then explain the treatment plan clearly, and once you feel comfortable and fully informed, we will start the session.
Everything is done gradually and at your pace, so even first-time clients can feel at ease.

All sessions at Ryu Healing are by appointment only.
If you have questions or would like to book a session, please feel free to contact us through any of the methods below.
