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 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.
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 fascial connective tensions to decrease that very pain.

NORIO TOMITA, THERAPIST & SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHER

With a Master’s degree of Mechanical Engineering from Keio University, Norio Tomita has developed medical 3D imaging ultrasound devices and has worked for years in collaboration with reknown doctors, particularly in cardiology.
Fascinated by the inter-connectivity of inner parts of the body, he is pursuing scientific research on the functions of fascia, the filament membrane that encapsulates and retains together vital organs and muscles.
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.
