 Hoshino Therapy® is a unique and
highly effective pressure point system of manual therapy developed by Tomezo
Hoshino in the 1940s as a treatment for musculoskeletal pain and
dysfunction.
The underlying theory of the therapy is simple: Arthrosis is a
degenerative join condition characterized by hardening of the soft
tissue, muscles, tendons (which connect muscle to bone), and ligaments
(which connect bone to bone).
Arthrosis is caused by several factors, including physical
inactivity, overuse of the muscles, poor posture and age. It is the
underlying cause of a variety of musculoskeletal problems. Specific
ailments as well as nonspecific problems such as numbness, tingling, shooting
pain, muscle fatigue, and tension originate in this hardening and
shortening of the soft tissue.
The aim of Hoshino therapy is to reverse the arthrosis and to restore
the resiliency and flexibility of the soft tissue. When this is
achieved, the painless, normal functioning of the body returns.
The Need for Hoshino Therapy®
Today more and more people suffer from painful and
disabling conditions that affect the moving parts of the body.
These problems, which arise with advancing age, are to a great extent
influenced by our sedentary life style and habits of poor posture and
inadequate exercise. We develop uncoordinated movement patterns
that cause muscles, tendons, and ligaments to contract and harden.
This can result in pain and restricted movement. This process of
hardening or aging of soft tissues is called arthrosis, and it is this
condition that underlies soft tissue disorders such as bursitis, tendonitis,
back pain, and muscular tension. When left uncorrected for a
period of many years, such conditions may eventually lead to
degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis and spinal disc
disorders.
While symptoms of arthrosis most often appear after
ages of 40 or 50, excessive use or misuse of body parts, such as in
strenuous sports and work related stress, can also cause aging of soft
tissues in younger age groups. Persons of almost any age
whose body movement is restricted or impaired and who have not found
relief in conventional forms of treatment, should seriously
consider Hoshino Therapy®.

Philosophy
The hand is our principle tool. With great precision, the hand applies
the warmth and pressure necessary to reverse arthrosis in a particular
muscle, tendon or ligament.
Only the warmth of the hand can revitalize and strengthen at the same
time.
Only the hand can sense that is has applied the right amount of pressure.
Only the hand can sense when the muscle or tendon has been stimulated
enough to produce its own heat.
- Bodhi Kocica, Director, Hoshino Clinic of Miami, from
teh article "Hoshino Therapy" by Ronald Koztch, which appeared in
East?West journal, December 1988
