When muscle stiffness is relieved, autonomic nervous system disorders improve

Hello, this is Shimizu.

Are you suffering from painful shoulder or neck stiffness?

Regardless of whether they are aware of it or not, almost every customer who visits our Seitai salon comes in with muscle stiffness.

So, what exactly is "stiffness"?
Simply put, it is a state where muscles are unconsciously contracted and hardened.

When this stiffness is relieved, autonomic nervous system symptoms and various other ailments improve.

This is an empirical rule based on my experience treating over 10,000 people, and it was also the reason I, who love relieving muscle stiffness, started a Seitai salon specializing in autonomic nervous system and mental care.

Research proving the relationship between autonomic nervous system symptoms and stiffness

In recent years, a research paper was published in an international medical journal stating that unexplained physical malaise is related to tension (stiffness) in the neck muscles. (Tokyo Brain Nerve Center, published January 14, 2020)

As a result of performing local therapy on the muscles around the neck for patients hospitalized with unexplained physical malaise, all 28 symptoms showed a recovery rate of over 50%.

Above is the improvement rate for each symptom.
Many of these overlap with symptoms of autonomic imbalance.

The 28 symptoms in this table are also common concerns among customers who visit our salon.

Since it is easy for patients to notice improvements in headaches and dizziness, I receive reports like, "My headaches are almost gone!"
However, with mental health issues (anxiety, irritability, lack of motivation, etc.), even if they feel "I feel a bit better," it is difficult to clearly perceive the improvement, so it is hard to get reports.

Therefore, when it appears in numbers like this, it is very convincing, and I think, "Ah, I knew it."

There was also a report that blood pressure dropped, but since few people have blood pressure monitors at home and measure it daily, it is rare for people to notice this.

However, looking at this improvement rate, I wonder if that's why my mother's blood pressure was stable back when I used to treat her frequently (laughs).

Stiffness is related to various ailments, not just the autonomic nervous system

Although not everything, I believe that most ailments and pains will improve if the stiffness is "properly" relieved.
That is what I think.

This includes chronic pain like lower back pain and knee pain, as well as internal organ issues like loss of appetite.

There are also muscles around the internal organs.
When these muscles become hard (stiff), the organs themselves become difficult to move, and it becomes harder for blood to be supplied to them.

Have you ever had a time when you had no appetite for a long time, but then your stomach started growling after you worked up a sweat playing a sport you were invited to?

At our salon, almost every customer's stomach starts rumbling during treatment, and they often leave saying, "I'm hungry!"

Because it was stiff, the internal organs were difficult to move. Blood flow in the surrounding area was also poor.
Once the stiffness is resolved and it loosens up, it will start moving...


However, stiffness is actually quite difficult to loosen.

Body tissues such as muscles are connected, and when one part becomes stiff and contracts, it pulls on the surrounding tissues and affects them.

Even if you get a deep massage just on your shoulders because you have stiff shoulders, you might feel a little better at the time, but it quickly returns to how it was, right?

How can you loosen stiffness?

This kind of topic cannot be explained in a few lines of a sub-heading, but
to express it in "cliché" terms

Exercise, diet, sleep, bathing, not accumulating stress...

Ah, I hate writing this~!

"If I could do that easily, I wouldn't be worried!!!"
I feel like people would say that, and as someone who has had stiff shoulders since I was a child, I think so too!!

With that said, this is the foundation.

However, for those who cannot do this, there are people like me—chiropractors, various therapists, and medical professionals.

I believe that relying on someone who is good at loosening stiffness is a lucky item given to modern people.
(I also rely on someone once a month)
Why not try looking for a therapist who suits you?

Finally

I am someone who has been worrying and thinking about "how to loosen stiffness" so much that if people across Japan (or rather, the world?) competed on the time spent thinking about it, I think I would rank fairly high.

Since the way to handle it differs depending on the person and their condition,
if you have the opportunity to meet me and are curious, please ask.

And for those who want to know how to loosen stiffness using relatively simple methods other than "exercise, diet, sleep, bathing...".
I might write about it on note someday, so look forward to that time...!
