Dr. Keiichi Hagiwara

I first encountered osteopathy when I was in my 20s. I read Dr. Andrew Weil’s book, “Spontaneous Healing: How to Discover and Enhance Your Body’s Natural Ability to Maintain and Heal Itself.”
I admire the holistic approach of osteopathy. It investigates the cause and maximizes the natural healing power of the body. I was deeply impressed by the story of Dr. Fulford, an osteopathic doctor introduced in the book. It guided me to read his book, “Dr. Fulford’s Touch of Life: The Healing Power of the Natural Life Force.”
I decided to study osteopathy and enrolled at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia to pursue my studies earnestly.
After five years of training in Australia, I was certified as a Master of Osteopathy. Since returning to Japan, I have practiced osteopathy and taught at schools and seminars worldwide.
As an osteopath, I have had the pleasure of supporting the health of many clients and witnessing their lives change dramatically. Through osteopathy, I will continue to help people achieve a healthy life.

Our Treatment

Pediatric osteopathy

Children are not just smaller versions of adults. Because of differences in anatomy and physiology, the osteopathic approach to children differs from the approach to adults.
I base my practice on 15 years of study under Dr. Jim Jealous D.O., a leading expert in pediatric osteopathy.

Recommended for

developmental disabilities, ADHD, otitis media, speech delays, scoliosis, autism, esotropia, asthma, atopy, withdrawal, orthostatic disorder, etc.

Osteopathy for Pregnant Women

Care during pregnancy is essential for both the fetus and the mother.
For example, morning sickness may be caused by the brain sug slightly from the cerebrospinal fluid. Return of breech at 8 months and attaching the birth canal allows for smooth delivery. The stress on the cerebellar tent during delivery may affect the pituitary gland. It induces postpartum depression and hypothyroidism.
We believe that the Biodynamic approach to osteopathy is efficient during pregnancy.

Recommended for

First 3 months of pregnancy: morning sickness
8 months: Breech birth, clear birth canal
After delivery
Postpartum depression, etc.

Osteopathy for Parents and Children

Osteopathy can diagnose and treat as called the Fluid Field. The Fluid Field reflects consciousness and is shared by families, couples, and parent-child relationships.
It is common for a family member’s disorder to affect other family members. Sometimes, parental or ancestral problems can affect children across generations. Therefore, treating both parents and children at the same time can sometimes be very effective.

Recommended for

Developmental disorders, Attachment disorders, Withdrawal, Autism, Orthostatic disorder

Osteopathy for Seniors

Osteopathy is very effective for acute dementia, especially if it is less than 2 weeks old. Suppose you are experiencing memory loss, paranoia, or repetition of the same story. In that case, it is a good idea to seek osteopathy immediately. In addition, it is recommended to receive regular osteopathic treatment after age 55 to prevent aging and improve brain metabolism to maintain brain function.

Recommended for

Acute dementia, Memory loss, Paranoia, Repetition of the same story, Prevention of aging

Osteopathy for face

Face is a clinically fascinating and practical area to treat. Treatment of the upper, middle, and lower face fluid fields, seams between them, and the sinuses activates facial metabolism, improves skin quality, improves facial symmetry, and is effective in anti-aging.

Recommended for

Beauty, Anti-aging, Sinusitis, TMJ disorder, Bell’s palsy, asthenopia, low vision etc.

Osteopathic Medicine

“Osteopathy is a way of allowing the body to heal itself
by balancing and aligning musculoskeletal structures
and taking pressure off nerves, blood, the intrinsic physician,
can be distributed to all parts of the body.”

A.T. Still

Enhancing natural healing power and self-regulation

Osteopathy is a manual therapy founded by Dr. A.T. Still in the United States in 1874 and is based on the following principles.
(1) The body is a unit that functions as a whole.
(2) Distortion of the structure affects its function, and conversely, the function also affects distortion of the structure.
(3) The human body has natural healing power and self-regulation.
The word osteopathy was coined by its founder, Dr. A.T. Still, from the Greek words “osteon,” meaning bone, and “pathos,” meaning treatment or disease.
The term was defined by its founder, Dr.A.T. Still, as “treatment using the properties of bones (living structures)” by combining the Greek words “osteon,” which means bone, and “pathos,” which means treatment or disease.
Osteopathy was recognized as a medical qualification in the U.S. in 1910 and later spread to the rest of Europe. It is also highly regarded by the WHO in alternative medicine.

Considering the entire body as “one unit”

We use the traditional osteopathic method of Biodynamics osteopathy, which views the entire body as a single unit.
A disease is not caused only by manifestations. When the body is subjected to stress from heredity, trauma, chemicals, psychological trauma, life circumstances, and bad habits, it tries to maintain balance through self-regulation. However, when the balance is lost, physical and mental illnesses and symptoms of a disease appear.
In other words, not only one part of the body becomes ill, but the entire body is affected by various stresses in our daily life, and as a result, the whole body is affected.

Everyone has natural healing power

In osteopathy, techniques are used to draw out and optimize the “natural healing power” inherent in everyone.
For example, when harmful bacteria or viruses enter the body, white blood cells automatically fight them. When the skin is cut, platelets work to close the wound. When a bone is fractured, as long as the fracture fragments are kept together, the callus (glue) comes out from the fracture end and binds the bones together tightly. When the lower spine turns to the right, the upper spine turns to the left to maintain balance.
Osteopathy recognizes the complete integrity of the human body, synchronizes with our natural healing powers, and facilitates the healing process, freeing us from the symptoms of physical and mental illness and disease and returning us to our true selves.

Please consult us when you have any of these symptoms.

  • Children

    developmental disorders, reflux esophagus, learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, post-vaccination

  • Pregnant women

    perinatal period: morning sickness, breech birth, preparation for delivery, postpartum depression, hypothyroidism

  • Adults:

    reflux esophagus, indeterminate complaints, menstrual pain, depression, autonomic failure, sequelae of surgery, sinusitis, acute dementia, etc.

Osteopathy draws out natural healing power through manual techniques.
It is safe for children, adults, and even pregnant women.
Please feel free to consult us.

History of Osteopathy

Founded by Dr. A.T.Still in 1874, Osteopathy was passed on to his direct disciple,
William Garner Sutherland D.0., and spread worldwide. Osteopathy entered Japan in 1910.
Osteopathy’s philosophy and treatment techniques have been passed down from hand to hand through the ages.
Introducing the lineage of Osteopathy that Dr.Hagiwara inherited and the three representative predecessors he looks up to as his teachers.

Andrew Taylor Still, M.D.
1827-1917

Dr. Still was a physician, but after he lost three children to meningitis, his inability to save them through medical treatment led him to question the medical treatment of the time.
During his 25 years of research, he discovered that patients with any disease always have musculoskeletal abnormalities affecting circulation.
And this, in turn, causes problems in the circulatory system.
He became convinced that nature was the only doctor man should respect.
On June 22, 1874 (10:00 a.m.), he discovered osteopathy.

William Garner Sutherland, D.O.
1873-1954

Dr. Sutherland was a direct student of Dr. Still. As a student, he focused on the connections between the skull bones. He hypothesized that the skull is also related to respiration.
After that, he continued his research. He discovered that the fused and hardened skulls have slight movements that resemble breathing and that the breathing-like movements of the skull are related to body fluids.
After about 50 years of clinical practice, he established osteopathy in the cranial field.

James Jealous, D.O.
1943 - 2021

Over the years, Jim Jealous, D.O., has achieved extraordinary results with his skillful techniques. Many patients have traveled from around the world to receive his treatment.
Jim began teaching medical students in 1973, and joined the University of New England School of Osteopathic Medicine faculty in 1978.
Jim also became the director of the Sutherland Cranial Teaching Foundation. In 1992, he created his program, later known as “Biodynamics of Osteopathy”.
Jim has taught osteopathic courses all over the world. Jim has been an instructor and member of osteopathic associations and study groups worldwide, teaching thousands of osteopathic medical students and physicians. The program continues to this day.

In addition, Jim’s love for children has taken him to establish pediatric clinics in London, Switzerland, Austria, Bavaria, Russia, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, and many other countries, helping many children and their families. It still operates as a beautiful legacy.
