Shoulder pain won’t go away? 🤔

Many people think shoulder pain is caused only by “tight muscles.”

But in reality, the problem often comes from poor posture, limited shoulder blade movement, muscle weakness, stress, shallow breathing, or even nerve function.

That’s why massage may help temporarily—but the pain often comes back.

At Arakawa Seitai, we don’t just treat the painful area.
We assess your whole body to find the real cause and create a treatment plan that’s right for you.

✅ Poor posture
✅ Desk work & phone use
✅ Limited shoulder blade mobility
✅ Muscle imbalance
✅ Stress & poor sleep
✅ Nerve & spine function

Find the real cause. Feel real relief.

Frozen Shoulder? It may not be just a shoulder problem.

In many cases, treating the shoulder joint alone is not enough to improve frozen shoulder.

At Arakawa Seitai, we first assess and address the nerves around the neck and shoulder that may be affecting movement and causing pain. Once the nervous system is functioning better, we then work on improving the joint’s mobility.

Many patients come to us after trying physical therapy, massage, or other treatments without significant improvement.

In fact, we have helped patients who:
✅ Were told surgery was their only option
✅ Had months of physical therapy with little progress
✅ Could not raise their arm or sleep comfortably due to pain

If you’ve tried everything and still aren’t getting results, there may be another cause that hasn’t been addressed yet.

Don’t give up on your shoulder.

This patient hasn't been able to lift his right arm for over 5 years due to chronic pain. We applied a neurological approach, and the results were instant! Watch his reaction at the end — this is why I love what I do.

Still struggling with that nagging back pain?

"It hurts when I stand, it hurts when I sit..."
If this sounds like you, you’re not alone.
In this video, you can see how stiff our client’s spine was before the session. Bending forward or leaning back wasn't just hard—it was painful.

Why Arakawa Seitai?
We don’t do "just another massage." We focus on Nervous System Reset and Joint Mobilization.
Everything we do is based on clinical evidence, focusing on how your joints actually move to get you back on track.

Recommended for sciatic nerve self-care ✨

This exercise helps improve the “mobility (gliding)” of the nerve, which can reduce numbness and discomfort.

The key is gentle movement—not aggressive stretching ☝️
It’s easy to perform and suitable even for those with symptoms.

✔ During desk work breaks
✔ For discomfort in the glutes to the back of the thigh
✔ For preventing sciatica

Aim for about 30 seconds and try to make it part of your routine!

【Why is this effective?】

This exercise is based on the concept of nerve mobilization (neurodynamics).

The sciatic nerve passes between muscles and joints. When surrounding tissues become stiff, the nerve’s ability to glide decreases. This can increase mechanical stress and compression on the nerve, leading to pain or numbness.

By combining knee extension, ankle movement, and spinal flexion/extension, this exercise creates a “sliding” stimulus to the nerve. This may help reduce internal and external nerve stress, improve blood flow, and decrease nerve sensitivity.

Because it avoids strong stretching, it provides a safe and effective way to stimulate the nerve without excessive irritation.

When you sit for long periods, the movement of the lumbar spine (lower back bones) gradually decreases, which can become a major cause of pain and numbness.

In many cases, simply loosening tight muscles through massage is not enough.
What is truly important is restoring proper joint movement.

This “Spinal Extension Exercise” helps reset the intervertebral discs that tend to shift backward due to prolonged desk work, and improves the natural range of motion of the joints.

Key points:
• Combines muscle work + joint mobilization
• Helps relieve pressure on the intervertebral discs and lightens the load on the lower back
• Just 10 repetitions during work breaks is enough!

If you feel like “my lower back feels heavy again soon after massage,” try incorporating this joint-focused care into your routine.

⚠️ If you have been diagnosed with spinal canal stenosis, spondylolysis, or spondylolisthesis, please avoid performing this exercise.
