What is Jiriki Seitai?

Jiriki Seitai is a bodywork that treats one’s body without the help of others.

The average life expectancy in Japan is one of the highest in the world. Contrastingly, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and mental illnesses, (which are considered to be lifestyle-related diseases of the working generation), are on the rise, and due to society’s extreme aging population the burden of medical expenses  will become a major issue in the future.

We must increase the awareness of each person in order to implement the lifestyle to have the mindset to be more responsible for your own health. It is essential to prevent illness and improve health by providing self-care as much as possible that does not depend on medical care.

The Yagami Holistic Medicine Lab has been researching and popularizing this method since 1974. If people can develop the habit of caring for their physical condition, not only can medical expenses be reduced but each person can live their lives with a sense of happiness; work productivity would also be improved contributing to the vitality of the company and society as a whole.

We wish to convey the methods we have cultivated so far to many people and contribute to society for a better future.

From Treatment To JIRIKI

If you continue to practice Jiriki Seitai, your natural healing ability will increase and you will be able to develop your capacity to observe yourself. By releasing the tension in the body, the parasympathetic nerve becomes dominant, and by fixing your body alignment to its natural position, it is possible to remove the pain from the presenting issue.

The Purpose

Many chronic pains and disorders can be cured yourself without the need for specialists. This is because the process of healing the body takes place by the healing ability that human beings naturally have. Yagami Holistic Medicine Lab continues to work for as many people as possible to learn more about this concept.
You can prevent illness by strengthening your natural healing ability and sensing your body’s signs at an early stage. In order to do that, it is important to improve your lifestyle; to have a fit body that doesn’t hold waste products for longer than necessary, to practise Jiriki Seitai; to take care of your body maintaining pain-free and supple muscles and joints, and to master how to use the body correctly without getting fatigue.

JIRIKI SEITAI is a 90-minute program; the 90 minutes are divided into three parts: “Relax,” “Reset,” and ” Strengthen.” We take time to carefully adjust your body and mind according to your objectives.

	First 30 minutes The first step is to relax and loosen tired and tense muscles. The purpose of SEITAI is to return the skeleton to its correct position, so if the muscles are tense and tight, the bones will not be able to move.
	Next 30 minutes The next step is to reset the skeleton to the correct position by working on the spine, hip joints, knee joints, and other areas where the pain is caused by bone misalignment.
	Last 30 minutes. Strengthen muscles to prevent a recurrence, master the correct use of the body and how to stand and walk.

JIRIKI SEITAI is very gentle and painless, so people with pain and the elderly can comfortably enjoy the program. Continuous practice is the most important factor in preventing physical weakness.

Preventive medicine is the study of ways of thinking and living to create a body and mind that will not have to depend on medical treatment for illness throughout one’s life. In this field, medicine is not about treating illness, but about maintaining and promoting health and preventing disease, and provides guidelines for action on what each individual should do.

We approach all aspects of lifestyle and provide guidance based on three pillars.

“We take medicine in the viewpoint of maintenance and promotion of health and prevention of disease. Let’s consider what each of us should do and work together.”

In 1974, I started my career in Oriental medicine and established the Yagami holistic medicine lab in 2004. The laboratory’s mission is to show people how to maintain their health and live a whole life without depending on medical care. We aim for a life where people can remain active and not depend on nursing care, even in old age.

Japan’s healthcare costs currently exceed 40 trillion yen. Suppose all the people in Japan start to maintain their health with JIRIKI SEITAI. In that case, they will notice their health problems before they become ill and can avoid going to the hospital except in an emergency. This will reduce the cost of medical and nursing care, and the funds can be effectively used to provide free medical care, tuition-free education through college, assistance for poor families, and reduced burdens of nursing care.

Therefore, the Yagami holistic medicine lab, aiming to promote preventive medicine, spreads the importance of taking care of one’s health through JIRIKI SEITAI classes, instructor training, seminars, publications, and online, streaming, and other activities.

JIRIKI SEITAI currently has about 500 certified instructors and about 15,000 students.

Through JIRIKI SEITAI, we feel the joy of witnessing the moment when people are relieved from dependence and find their own health and way of life. Our passion for preventative medicine continues to grow.

You don’t have to immediately make a big change tomorrow.

First, focus on your inner self – your body and mind. When your inner world changes, your external world will change as well.

We hope everyone who reads this booklet can find a happy way of life through self-care.
