What to Expect
Your first session is about 50 minutes. We start with a careful history and physical assessment before any hands-on treatment. We’ll explain what we find and what we’re planning to do — in plain English.
治療は穏やかです。当院では、攻撃的な脊椎マニピュレーションを基本としていません。臨床的に適切で、かつ患者様の明確な同意がある場合に限り、高速テクニックを用いることもありますが、ほとんどの治療は軟部組織、関節モビライゼーション、機能的アプローチに基づいています。
We also give you practical home exercises where relevant, so you’re not entirely dependent on coming back.
Fees
Treatment at our clinic is private (self-pay) — it is not covered by Japanese public health insurance (国民健康保険). We can issue an official receipt, which may be used for reimbursement through private travel insurance or expat health insurance plans.

We accept a wide range of payment options. Payment is due at the end of your session.
- Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, etc.)
- IC cards (Suica, PASMO, etc.)
- Mobile payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay, QR code, etc.)
- Cash (Japanese yen only)
