Japanese Manual Therapy (Seitai-Therapy)

Helping You Move Better.

Helping You Live Better.

My Story

My journey into manual therapy began with my own pain.

In my twenties, I suffered from severe lower back pain and knee pain.

I visited hospitals.

I received different treatments.

Sometimes the pain became better.

But it always came back.

I kept asking myself one question.

"Why?"

Why did the pain keep returning?

Why did treatment help only temporarily?

That question changed the direction of my life.

I began studying anatomy, movement, posture, biomechanics, and Japanese manual therapy to better understand how the body functions.

Over the years I discovered something that continues to shape every treatment I provide today.

Pain is often the result of a problem—not always the place where the problem begins.

My Philosophy

Treat the Whole Body, Not Just the Pain.

The human body works as one connected system.

When one area loses mobility or balance, other parts of the body begin to compensate.

Over time, these compensations can lead to excessive muscle tension, restricted movement, and pain.

Rather than focusing only on where you feel discomfort, I assess how your entire body moves and functions.

My goal is to help restore natural alignment and efficient movement so your body can function with less unnecessary tension.

What Makes TEATEYA Different?

Every treatment begins with understanding your body.

Each session includes:

✓ A detailed consultation

✓ A whole-body assessment

✓ Postural evaluation

✓ Movement analysis

✓ Personalized Japanese manual therapy

✓ Self-care advice

No two bodies are the same.

Every treatment is tailored specifically to you.

My Approach

Treatment at TEATEYA is gentle, precise, and focused on improving function.

Sessions are performed fully clothed.

There are no oils.

No forceful manipulation.

No one-size-fits-all routine.

Instead, every treatment is based on careful assessment and clinical reasoning.

My goal is not to chase symptoms.

My goal is to help your body move better.

Continuous Learning

The human body is incredibly complex.

The more I learn, the more I realize there is always more to understand.

That is why I continue studying anatomy, biomechanics, movement, and manual therapy every year.

Continuous learning allows me to refine my clinical skills and provide better care for every person who walks into my clinic.

Why I Do This Work

Pain changes lives.

It limits movement.

It affects sleep.

It reduces confidence.

It can stop people from enjoying the activities they love.

I believe that when people move with less pain, they can enjoy life more fully, stay active, and spend more meaningful time doing what they love.

Helping people regain that freedom is the reason I continue this work every day.

My Promise

When you visit TEATEYA, I will:

Listen carefully.

Assess thoroughly.

Treat respectfully.

Explain honestly.

And always do my best to help you understand your body better.

Whether your symptoms have lasted for weeks or for years, my goal is to help you move toward lasting improvement—not simply temporary relief.

Thank You
