The perception of Seitai in Japan is that it falls somewhere between massage and a hospital visit—meaning it’s for individuals who have pain that doesn’t improve with massage but isn’t at the level requiring a hospital visit. However, in reality, many individuals who haven’t found relief from pain despite hospital visits involving injections, poultices, or prescribed medications often seek Seitai treatments.

Hospitals are primarily focused on diagnostics and do their best to prevent symptoms from progressing. However, they are not necessarily institutions for fundamentally improving pain. Of course, if the cause of the pain requires surgical intervention or is an acute condition like sprains or fractures, it is advisable to visit a hospital for appropriate treatment. If you have chronic symptoms that don’t improve with massage or exercise, Seitai can play a crucial role.

In essence, Seitai is a means to address and improve pain at its root cause, irrespective of age or gender. It aims to contribute to a healthy and fulfilling daily life. Why not regain a life free from pain while enjoying the ultimate relaxation in a clean environment?
