As a practice, Zen Shiatsu facilitates the natural movement of health, balance, and complete wellbeing. Those who receive Zen Shiatsu go into a deeply meditative state in which healing spontaneously occurs through effortless awareness.
(October 2008)Sotai or Sotai-hō ( 操体法, Sōtai-hō ) is a form of or movement which was invented by Keizo Hashimoto (1897–1993), a Japanese medical doctor.He developed a model of treatment that was based on returning to natural body alignment by working with the breath and moving toward comfort, rather than adjusting toward pain. He developed his system from traditional oriental medicine (, , Seitai Jutsu ) in concert with his knowledge of modern medicine.Sotai is intended to be a method for reeducation, untwisting muscular holding patterns. According to their practitioners, this balances the. Its central point is the backward movement or reverse-motion treatment. The idea is that the wrong point of the frame could be returned by moving the body in the comfortable direction. Using the effects of an contraction followed by a sudden relaxation can normalise the strained condition. Contents.PhilosophySotai practitioners claim that stiff structures should be regarded as a sort of: if a movement hurts, the patient should stop it.
They claim that Sotai(-hō) helps to determine where the movement is going wrong.Similar to the in traditional eastern medicine, there are also along the body. Landsberger and Hoepke (1936) invented the term of muscular chains ('Muskelketten'). Sotai practitioners claim that it detects the ' within these chains. According to its philosophy these 'strains' arise through habituated movements.said that a free person is able to do one action within one plot. Probably Hashimoto translated this thought into neurophysiological terms: He said that if one puts his centre of gravity adequately over his feet, the body will raise naturally.
Hashimoto claims that people often shift their weight more to the outside of the foot, instead of shifting it towards the bale of the big toe. He said that the human body is not centred then, which means that the natural set reactions will not occur properly.
Additional muscular work is needed to keep the body straight. To speak in Feldenkrais words, body energy is not focused on the act but is spent in keeping the trunk raised. The construction of the bodyHashimoto claimed that the organism always moves as a unity and formulated from it 'the law of the reciprocal effect' ('Doji-sokan-sohosei').According to Hashimoto the construction of the human body resembles in the principle that of a house. Four supporting piers correspond to the arms and legs, and the ridge corresponds to the spinal column. If the balance one of these pillars is disturbed sensitively, this will become apparent as a malfunction in the backbone. The law of the reciprocal effect (Doji-sokan-sohosei). The four factors that influence human health.
Four factorsHashimoto's opinion was that there are four factors which contribute to the body's inside balance. The following passage is a citation of Hashimotos thoughts:. Respiration: A slow, quiet and deep is important for optimization of body processes. (Moving the in consonance with respiration the circulation will improve, particularly the fast 's effects will improve as well, which contributes to cell metabolism by exchanging carbon dioxide with oxygen.). Nutrition: Regular, balanced is a presupposition for the development of healthy organs.
Movement: One should always do those movements that are good for one's body, which fit to one's biomechanical recources. Thinking: is the key to moderate thinking and positive life attitude.In the ideal case balance rules in all four factors. But this is rather rarely the case. So a person who moves normally can negatively affect his health by bad nutrition. On the other hand is a balanced point, for example respiration in state to equalize a neglected area, for example the nutrition.As long as within this system balance rules, one says, the person is healthy. Only if at least one of these pillars collapses, disease appears.One's environment also affects the body balance, for example, by stress factors like noise or frantic.
The movement chainAccording to Hashimoto the law of the reciprocal effect has not only validity within the model of the four health factors: it refers to every kind of movement. A movement never (!) takes place in one segment only. It is not detached from the remaining body! It spreads out as a kind of a chain starting from one link going to the adjoining and finally over the whole body.In Sotai it is said that the whole organism is always involved in performance. Following this idea, one could regard the birth of a local hardening as the result of a process which works in the whole organism (see: ). According to this vision, one could regard a as an appearance at those places within the chain which are not permeable, where the forces are held, leading to a collapse.
Doshin (self-detection)According to Hayashi, Sotaiho is not a curation treatment in the usual sense. Sotaiho requires the co-operation of the affected person. This is meant as a sort 'listening to yourself' during the treatment. Hashimoto claims that therapists, doctors and medications cannot heal. He states that this can only be done by nature. So it is an essential part of Sotai therapy to hunt up independently false positions of the several joints and to understand them as a cause of the problem.While Dr.

Hashimoto's work has concentrated in essence upon the partner's work, it was Dr. Sato who had strongly developed the Self-Sotai. From his point of view it belongs to an extensive therapy to train an affected person in self-exercises.Practitioners claim that if the affected person has understood the Sotai idea once, he can extend it to all areas.
They say that this understanding also includes the idea that there is an optimal degree of the pleasant. Too much of it is again harmful: e.g., a piece of cake may be probably tasty, however, a whole cake causes certainly. Meridian tendonsIn the traditional eastern medicine one knows about muscular leading roads which are very similar to the course of the associated. They are named 'meridian tendons'.For reasons, the 'tendon' of the meridian is chosen: this meridian tendon runs down the outside of the body and connects the with the outer area of the foot. In between there are several interfaces:.
on height of the 's head. at the level of the. on height of the waist-line. in the shoulder.
in the area of the temple.Practitioners frequently have to work on problems within this tendon. They claim that many loins complaints stand in connection with a disturbance of this chain.According to Dr. Masunaga , who has assigned psychological functions to the, the meridian of the gallbladder stands on behalf for the function of short-time decisions: 'Do I go to the right or to the left?' In the concept of, it is said that emotional habits are incorporated in postural patterns. Hashimoto's approach transfers this theory to the level of the movement chains: all kind of (movement) habits will be reflected within the meridian tendons.
E.g., everybody knows the situation in which one could not make a proper decision, to do something somehow and, nevertheless, also again not. According to Masunaga the appropriate movement would be a kind of twist, an unclear movement which leads to one side, but also to the other side. According to Masunaga's idea, such samples will establish as conditions in the 's meridian tendon.According to Kawakami one could state a change of the muscle proteins at microscopic level, called '. Via neuronal feedback mechanisms the is affected, which has an influence on the of the internal organs. It is possible that through this way disturbances in the organ system could be caused.To speak to Manakas words, a correction in the - in this case the muscle apparatus - could cause changes in the somatic condition of the related. TherapyAccording to Hashimoto the is the centre of all movements. Goal of therapy is to synchronize movements of hands and feet with those of the pelvic girdle.
Facilitate the lower abdomenAccording to Hayashi with this technique an exercise is presented with which all basic treatments are started practically. Palpating the one can feal hardenings of the local tendons by moving one's fingers. The technique will be executed on the more reactive side. Here the affected person should raise his forefoot and shift his weight gently towards the heel. If both sides are reactive the technique will be done on both sides. The practitioner puts on his hand lightly to strengthen the tension within the movement chain positively.
After three to five seconds the affected person should relax suddenly, afterwards the exercise will be repeated three to four times. Applying this technique facilitates the connection of the center of the foot with the lower abdomen.
Right or left?The following technique probably adjusts the tension in the and in the gall-bladder's as well. If for example, the trunk rotation is unpleasant to the left, the affected person turns to the right, to the painless side. Starting from the place at which the movement is still pleasant the practitioner initiates the movement. Close to the end of the movement the practitioner will build up a light resistance which ends in an.
The final point of the exercise is where the can be adjusted on an optimal degree. Mostly it lies exactly opposite facing the starting point. After three to five seconds the affected person should relax suddenly, afterwards the exercise will be repeated three to four times.
