What we do
A judo therapist treats bone, muscle and joint injuries, such as fractures, dislocations, bruises, sprains and muscle strains, without the performance of surgery. A judo therapist is also known as a judo reduction therapist. Reduction is the process of restoring a previously fractured bone or dislocated joint to its correct alignment. A properly-aligned bone is then stabilized with medical tape or a metal splint in order to prevent it from slipping. This series of procedures is known as “judo reduction therapy” (A doctor’ s consent is necessary for non-emergency treatment of fractures and dislocations).
In addition to traditional judo therapy techniques, our clinic supports our patients through diagnosis and treatment using the latest equipment. The equipment is used by professional athletes around the world and does not overlook even the smallest injuries. It can revitalize the body from the cellular level. Even if you think your condition cannot be recovered, we can find the possibility of recovery and have you returning to active duty.
Injuries and pains we can treat:
pulled muscles, fractures/dislocations, sprains, stiff necks, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, sciatica, growing pains, Osgood-Schlatter disease, and other sports injuries/disorders in general.
Our features
Diagnosis and Examination
In addition to the skills and experience of a judo therapist, we use high-spec ultrasound echo observation equipment that can accurately image not only bones but also muscles and ligaments to quickly determine the cause of pain.
Treatment
In addition to the skills and experience of a judo therapist, we use the latest equipment that can activate the cells to help patients recover quickly. Even for injuries that have been given up as being irreparable, we can find the possibility of recovery or returning to active duty.
Rehabilitation
Based on scientific evidence, and taking into consideration the patient's pain, sports history, and game/work schedule, our skilled technicians perform ultrasound evaluations and provide optimal treatment, rehabilitation, and recurrence prevention tailored to the individual's condition and needs, in cooperation with motion analysis software, physical therapists, and doctors.
Prevention and Conditioning
We offer suggestions not only for early recovery and recovery from injuries, but also for injury prevention and improving one's physical condition. ""I want to be in a better physical condition so I can always enjoy sports."" ""I want to train with peace of mind even if I have pain or underlying illness."" We can create evidence-based original menus created in response to such requests.

The director is a council member of the Japanese Society of Ultrasound in Bone and Soft Tissue, and is actively involved in conference presentations and graduate school research using ultrasound echo.
Diffuse Extracorporeal Shock Waves
This treatment is effective for muscles, tendons, and also ligaments, making it a very reliable treatment device for sports-related pain. In many cases, symptoms that have been painful for many years have improved dramatically, making this a treatment device that can bring considerable improvement. Our clinic is the only one in Okinawa that offers this treatment.
