CLINIQUE D'OSTÉOPATHIE JAPONAISE – MÉTHODE TOMITA

Tomita Method

– Efficient Myofascia Release –

PROFESSIONAL COURSE

• Learn about the connections of tension within our bodies based on the interconnectivity of fascia through hands-on training, supported by visually clear illustrations.
• With eight courses (2 hours each) structured by body regions, participants will learn techniques specific to characteristic pain and symptoms for each area.
• Through hands-on training, participants will develop a sensory understanding of the connections of fascia tension, levels of fascia adhesions, and the reduction of tension by releasing these adhesions.
• Participants will learn low-intensity manual techniques that are safe and physically gentle for both patients and therapists.
• Students will be provided with the latest scientific research findings on the mechanisms and functions of fascia.

ABOUT THE TOMITA METHOD

The Tomita Method is based on modern Japanese osteopathy called – SEÏTAÏ – and uses new hand techniques that were developed by Norio Tomita over ten years, along his scientific research on the functions of fascia.
A distinct characteristic of this method, setting it apart from other fascia treatments, is its focus on treating fascial adhesions at musculotendinous attachments in distant areas of the body, separate from the symptomatic location. This approach is grounded in the latest understanding of fascial chains, and its effectiveness has been demonstrated in recent clinical research. The application of gentler stimuli not only benefits your clients but also reduces the physical strain on you as a therapist.

NORIO TOMITA, THERAPIST & SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHER

With a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Keio University, Norio Tomita has been involved in the development of medical ultrasound devices and has collaborated for many years with renowned doctors, particularly in the field of cardiology.
With a strong interest in the interconnectedness of the body’s organs, Mr. Tomita is pursuing scientific research on the function of fascia – the fibrous membrane that envelops and connects vital organs and muscles – as a PhD candidate in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Montreal.
Mastering various Seïtaï (Japanese osteopathy) and massage techniques, he developed his own method of treatments, which he practices and teaches in Tokyo, New York, Montreal and around the world.
