Amazing how the simple sotai movements and techniques!

Amazing how the simple sotai movements and techniques!
Thank you, Hiro, for a very relaxing and interesting sotai session. It is amazing how the simple sotai movements and techniques can bring the body into balance. For me as a Shiatsu therapist it was also very interesting to get to know another Japanese bodywork and to talk with Hiro about the different techniques of oriental medicine he combines in his work. If i am travelling to Japan again sometime I will definitely come back to take a session with him.

It's hard to believe how this technique works!

It's hard to believe how this technique works!
I've heard about Sotai from my shiatsu teacher last year when I was in Tokyo. I found it very interesting and started to search about it. I've got in touch with Hiro-san, thanks to google and his website with English explanations.

After a few months later I had a chance to come to Japan again, this time I arranged a trip to Kyoto and met Hiro-san in his center.

Our Sotai session was very effective. It's hard to believe how this technique works.so little effort but the result is quite big. Also very relaxing and pain relief method. I want to learn more about Sotai and use this wonderful method in my sessions in the future.
