Yumeiho therapy is a type of manual therapy that originated in Japan. It was developed by the late Dr. Masayuki Saionji in the 1970s and combines techniques from traditional Japanese massage, chiropractic, and osteopathy.
The goal of Yumeiho therapy is to restore balance and harmony to the body by aligning the musculoskeletal system and releasing any blockages in the energy channels (meridians) that run through the body. This is achieved through a series of stretching, massage, and manipulation techniques applied to the spine, pelvis, limbs, and abdomen.
During a Yumeiho therapy session, the therapist will first assess the client’s posture and movements to identify any imbalances or restrictions in the body. They will then use a combination of techniques to correct these imbalances and improve mobility. These techniques may include:
- Stretching: The therapist may use passive stretching techniques to increase range of motion and flexibility in the joints and muscles.
- Massage: The therapist may use deep tissue massage techniques to release tension and improve circulation in the muscles.
- Manipulation: The therapist may use joint manipulation techniques to realign the spine and pelvis and improve overall posture.
- Pressure point therapy: The therapist may apply pressure to specific points on the body to release blockages in the energy channels and promote healing.
Yumeiho therapy is often used to treat musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and joint pain. It may also be used to improve posture, increase flexibility, and promote overall well-being.
It’s important to note that Yumeiho therapy should only be performed by a trained and licensed therapist. It’s also important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new type of therapy, especially if you have a medical condition or are pregnant
