Seikin Stretch

[Machine Translation] Stretching is said to be preferred by more than 40% of customers at relaxation salons such as chiropractic and aromatherapy salons. On the other hand, there are some therapists who are interested in stretching techniques, but are put off by the fact that it is physically demanding and difficult to use in oil therapy without clothes on, since it involves a lot of joint movement. Therefore, Dr. Kenshi Uehara invented the "tono-muscle stretching" method. The greatest feature of this method is that it works directly on the running muscles (without moving the joints). For example, if you want to treat the quadriceps muscle (rectus femoris muscle). Normally, the practitioner bends the client's knees and stretches the hip joints while approaching the quadriceps ( rectus femoris ) muscle. In contrast, the tonotonic stretching technique involves rubbing the quadriceps ( rectus femoris ) along its travel (stop: tibialis coarse to start: inferior anterior iliac spine) with soft pressure, such as with the thumb or carpus. This method allows you to stretch the muscles you wish to approach without using force. Supervisor: Kenshi Uehara

整体・アロマ等の各種リラクゼーションサロンで【4割以上のお客さまが好む】といわれる【ストレッチ】。一方、ストレッチ技術に興味はあっても関節を大きく動かしながら施術を行うため「体力を使いそう」「服を着ないオイル施術では使いにくそう」と敬遠している施術家の方もいると聞きます。そこで考案されたのが上原健志先生の【整筋ストレッチ】。最大の特徴は【関節を動かさずに】筋肉の走行に【直接働きかける】ことです。例えば【大腿四頭筋(直筋)】を施術したい場合。通常は施術者がお客さまの膝を曲げ、股関節を伸展させながら大腿四頭筋(直筋)にアプローチしていきます。一方、整筋ストレッチは大腿四頭筋(直筋)の【走行(停止: 脛骨粗面～起始: 下前腸骨棘)】に沿って親指や手根などのソフトな圧で擦り上げていきます。この方法によって、力を使わなくてもアプローチしたい筋肉をストレッチできます。 指導監修: 上原健志
