The Sotai Method: Japanese Exercises to Correct Body Imbalances
The Sotai Method is a Japanese system of exercises created by Keizo Hashimoto (1897-1993), a medical doctor in Japan who practiced for over fifty years. Hashimoto realised that the standard medical treatment he practiced had its limitations in treating his patients. Hashimoto studied other traditional forms of medicine and over time, he developed his own system of body correction, which he called sotai.
Hashimoto believed that our bodies have been designed in a way for us to be healthy and happy, but when we live contrary to this design, we become sick and unhappy. Sotai helps to restore us to natural health.
Sotai has two aspects. It can be practiced as a therapy whereby a person receives sotai corrections from a sotai practitioner. Alternatively, sotai can also be used as a system of self-exercises, which a person can carry out alone. This book only covers the self-practicing sotai exercises that individuals can do by themselves.
This book contains an explanation of sotai and contains a select number of simple sotai exercises. These exercises are relatively gentle and can be carried out by people of all ages and in different states of health and fitness. The exercises are carried out for ten to fifteen minutes either in the morning or the evening.
Sotai exercises work according to Hashimoto’s principle that performing movements in the direction which give relief and comfort can help correct body imbalances and deformations.
This book also discusses the sotai philosophy. Hashimoto believed that the cause of illness is a faulty way of living, which causes deformation and imbalances in the body system. These imbalances lead to disease. The way we use our bodies, the foods we eat and drink, our habits, the way we breathe, our mindsets and our very lifestyles can be causes of disease if they go against the natural design of our bodies.
Fortunately, sotai can help us to rebalance our body and live better lives.
