- The Tomita Method -
The Tomita Method is based on modern osteopathy and uses new hand techniques that were developed in Japan during recent years.
Each case is analyzed individually. Treatment techniques are chosen carefully according to the state of the patient and to the origin of the tension or pain. Treatment does not focus on the painful body part but rather works to re-establish balance and flexibility in myofascial connective tensions to decrease that very pain.
At Atelier Tomita, we believe that well-being can be maintained by ourselves. We thus also teach how to provide personalized coaching for small gestures and gentle techniques that can be performed by your partient (or by yourself) to finally say goodbye to pain and ejoy life in a healthy body.
