Kizo Hashimoto, a doctor who was also involved in martial arts and body massage. This movement therapy is a gentle overwork of muscles and balance based on the principle that over time muscles can be twisted into unnatural and uncomfortable positions. Sotai works on the movement of parts of the body in a comfortable direction, retraining muscles to the correct balance. These paths can be blocked or unbalanced for various reasons. Sotai therapy focuses on the neuromuscular structure of the body, eliminates stiffness and postural alignment, opening the energy pathway of the body and alleviating disorders of the internal organs affected by structural imbalances.

and Sotai Practicioner will first work with patients to determine their range of movement without pain. It starts at the neck and moving down the body to the feet, the practitioner gently manipulates the muscles to determine,How far each area can stretch without discomfort. The practitioner will also assess the entire muscle groups and general posture to determine where the muscles are too tight or self -sweetening.

Poisometric relaxation is the technique of stretching or relaxing the muscle to its normal resting length after the muscle has been processed. Reciprocal inhibition is used to relax muscle that causes chronic pain, by stretching the opposinug muscles; For example, the patient can stretch a sore bicep by bending an enemy tricep.

The aim of the therapy

sotai is to teach patients to pay more attention to the feeling of comfort and pain and gently movementAli towards comfortable positions. The purpose of a combination of slow, meditative breathing and prescribed exercises is to restore the flow of energy, flexibility and the right muscle length. Over time, patients learn to evaluate their own body alignment and work on the treatment of painful muscles.
