ニューヨークのスポーツ整体・日本人スポーツトレーナー

Kiichiro Sports Body Care NYC specializes in creating "The Space".

What do we mean by “The Space?”

This is because the shape of the paper cup (conical) is very stable and can exert a great deal of power, even though the contents are empty. I like to refer to this empty structure as “The Space.” When “The Space” is adjusted properly, an object will be stable.

A building, an airplane, a ship, they are very stable because of “The Space.” To support an object, Empty structure is stronger than substance like muscle and pillar.

A good shaped paper cup is the same as a loosened muscle.

A crushed paper cup is the same as a contracted muscle.

When you have your muscles loosened (good shaped paper cup), they make “The Space” bigger, and you will feel change in your body.

When your muscles have “The Space,” your body defies gravity, and makes your body lighter.Also, the loose muscles are flexible.

Toddlers don’t have enough muscle, but they don’t have stiff shoulder or lower back pain, either. This is because they have loose muscles and “The Space.” The older you are, the more contracted muscle you have, and the less “The Space” you have.

I have witnessed that an 88-year-old bedridden patient was able to stand up without assistance when his leg muscles were loosened. Even elderly people can stand up properly as long as the shape of the paper cup (muscles) is adjusted.

In contracted muscle, “The Space” is lost, same as in a crushed paper cup. When the space of the cups structure is lost, water will come out because its interior space has decreased.

When “The Space” of your pelvis and ribs are crushed (becomes smaller), the contents will be pushed out to your stomach, and you will have a “Potbelly” appearance. When your muscles around the pelvis and ribs are loosened, you will lose that potbelly look.

Besides this, when your tight, biting muscles are adjusted for TMJ, you will have an improved figure and thinner face. When you experience better function of your body, you will obtain beauty of body as well. I called it “Beautility.” (Beauty + Utility)

“Isn't it possible to lose strength when your muscles are loose?"

It is actually quite the opposite. When the muscles are relaxed, the helical chain can be used effectively, and the more relaxed you are, the more force you can exert.

Generally, it is said that muscle will contract when you apply force. But I believe muscle exerts several times the power when expanded. To expand your muscle, you need loose muscle. And this expanded muscle kinetic chain will improve your athletic performance.

How to reach your full potential >

The method of care is quite simple.

Light touch, stroke, or shake on the acupuncture points - If you can do this, your muscles will instantly relax.

I have had a lot of opportunities to have sessions with very famous massage therapists and acupuncturists who are called “God Hand” in Japan. Their common point is extremely light touch. They said the pressure points are in our skin.

In Japan, it is said that「武医同術」. Meaning, old manners of martial art and medicine have the same technique. In Japanese martial art, they touch opponent’s skin, it makes opponent’s muscles loosen, and weaken. That is how they can defeat a man twice their size.

In the same way, I can touch your skin, it makes your muscles loosen, It makes “The Space” bigger.
