Therapeutic Philosophy: This is a traditional Japanese manual therapy system that focuses on tendon and muscle manipulation rather than bone adjustment (unlike chiropractic). The approach emphasizes:

• Precise diagnosis through multiple assessment methods
• Targeted intervention based on specific pain patterns
