【Headache】【Pain in the eyes】 頭痛、目の痛み

Client: Ms. M, a student who is expecting a big exam next year.

It started from a light headache last year, and since this year the ache has increased and she has pain even behind the eyes. She went to see a doctor and got CT and MRI scan, but they did not find anything. Often when she gets headache, she can not concentrate in her classes.


She fell down from a stroller when she was two, and hit left side of her skull.
She hit her butt hard when she slipped while playing in a river, she was an elementary school kid. These are two major bruises she and her mother remembered.


With these information, I checked contortions of her whole body, and started to align.


At the first session, I aligned her pelvis, tail bone, skull and ribs. She did not have a headache that day, so I asked her to see how she is until the next appointment.


After the second session, she said, "I don't see much of change. I still have pain."


After the third, and fourth sessions, she still did not feel any improvement. I focused on searching the original cause of the contortions...I aligned mainly her skull where she had many contusions, highly likely the causes.


A day before her fifth session, her mother called me and said, "My daughter usually has terrible menstrual cramp, and always take a painkiller, but this time, she did not have to take it. She looked uncomfortable telling it to you, so I called. Her headache is improving since this week, and we are all very happy. "


She has had over 10 sessions so far, and her treatment has still been continued. She has less pain, less time, and her headache which she was dealing almost everyday, happens now only once a week or less.


She did not feel the improvement in the beginning, but she believed in us and kept coming. I really appreciate it.

【Pain in shoulder and arm from contortion of an index finger】なかなかとれなかった肩、腕の痛み

Client: Ms. H in her 40's who could not lift her arm during a classical ballet lesson

"I can lift till here, but from here...ouch!!!"

She could not lift her arm when she was trying to do some of the ballet move. She had pain from shoulder to elbow, saying "Because of this pain, changing clothes is big time."

"Didn't you fall or hit somewhere?", I asked.

"Not that I can think of, and I don't put myself in awkward posture, so cannot think of any reason."  Ms. H is very conscious about her posture not to make any contortions, and she takes very good care of herself. 

She has history of many injuries, and there were twist on her collar bone and arm, so that I aligned those bones adjusting the balance of the whole body. I aligned all the bones number 2-6-9-12, which is related to the shoulder.

"Around my elbow is fine, shoulder feels better, and I can move more, but still hurt..."

Pain in the arm improved, but she still had pain in shoulder and around her upper arm. Then Ms. H overheard another Skeletal Structure Adjuster was talking to another client that even a injury on a finger could make contortions of the skeletal.

Ms. H said, "Well, now I remember that I put palm of my hand on the pole, and put all of my weight to it. Does it has something to do with contortion? "

"Of course, finger is connected to your body, too!!! That must be it!"

I checked her fingers, and found contortion in the base of her index finger.

"It is here, isn't it, where you put all of your weight?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes!"

"It is related to your shoulder, bone #2. I am going to align it!"

While adjusting her index finger, she said "Wow, I did not have a clue that a finger has something to do with contortion. Now I am feeling something in my shoulder!"

After the adjustment, she tried to put her arms up, "Ohhhh!!! I can lift now! Feels much better!"

"The cause was the twist on your finger and arm when you put all of your weight pressure."

"Well, FINGER!!! Who would have thought of that!"

The cause of contortions sometimes can be somewhere you would never think of.

【Shoulder pain】【Neck pain】【Rhinitis】肩こり、首痛、鼻炎

Client: Male in his 30's

Main conditions: pains in shoulder and neck

He has hit his shoulder about 6 months ago, since then, he is in pain.

I checked his entire body, and started from his side skulls, which had large contortions. 10 minutes later, he says, "My nose is clear now. I am so happy, feel very good. Does skull adjustment make rhinitis go away?" He seems very surprised. After that, I aligned shoulder (original causes of contortions), then ribs and neck.

After the session, he was able to move his neck more easily saying, "Feel much better now. Thank you very much. I am so happy that not only neck condition is improved, but also rhinitis is gone."

Aligning one contortion may improve conditions of other various issues, and also only one contortion can make contortions in various related bones overtime, which may result in making various discomfort to your health.

It is rare not to fall or hit on something at all in your life. We recommend everyone to come see us for maintenance before it becomes a pain or a serious issue.

【Back pain】腰痛

Client: Mr. T in his 20's

"I was introduced by my mother's friend. My back hurts really bad, and I would like to make an appointment ASAP. Any time available today?"

Mr. T is a hairdresser. Since he hit his legs and back at a bike accident 3 years ago, he has had painful back. When he gets really busy and tired, the conditions of his back gets worse ,and it is difficult to wash customers' hair, and sometimes he just cannot go to work because of backache.

At standing position, the levels of pelvis, right and left were very different, so a belt around his waist slanted.

He got his legs wallops, which was also a cause of his backache.

"You must be having such a pain, just standing must not be easy for you."

"Sure, I am glad that you understand...My boss and colleagues think I am just being weak."

At the very first session, I aligned contortions of pelvis, sacrum, and both legs.

Afterward he said, "I can feel that my weight is on my both legs equally, and my back feels lighter."

He still comes for adjustment, and his conditions are getting better.

【Panic disorder】パニック症

Client: Mr. T in his 30's


Health condition: Panic disorder
Birth condition: C-section


"My boss told me to come here because he thinks I need to fix my head contortions!"


He is very polite gentleman, has contortions on his skull and panics easily. His contortions on his skull were caused by his birth condition, and is related to panic disorder.


In natural delivery, baby comes through birth canal. While coming through the canal, baby's skull reasonably tightens up, and all the nerves inside head will loosen up.


On the other hand, when a baby is born with C-section, the baby doesn't go through the birth canal, and tends to have a relatively big head with strained nerves. This was Mr. T's case.


When looking his head from above, it was shaped like an ellipse with the sides of ears are stretched. However the more sessions we have, the more round the shape became.


Since he had started to come here, he had less panic disorder, and he could concentrate on studying for a tax accountant.


He still comes, and this year he passed the exam for a tax accountant, and will open his own office next year to make his dream come true.

【Schizophrenia】統合失調症

Client in his 30's

Condition: schizophrenia since his 20's

History of injuries: bike accidents at age of 18 and 20

Birth condition: forceps delivery

He developed schizophrenia in his 20's when he was in college.

When I met him for the first time, he was accompanies by his mother, and his eyes were empty.

"Started taking different medication 2 years ago, since then I have short memory and feels paranoid."

There were some scars from the bike accidents in the past. Clear contortions were found from forehead, side skull to back skull. Contortions on jaws due to forceps delivery made complicated contortions in his skull.

Focusing on twisted line of his forehead, I aligned his skull with HSTi's latest technique.

The more he comes to sessions, the more discerning his eyes became.

"I think I am better looking now!", he notices his change also.

When he drives and comes to us by himself, he looks very confident. Every time I talk to him, he says, "I am doing great! I am happy at school.", which makes me even happier.

Last week, he told me that his 3 times a day medications were decreased. I will do my very best to reduce more of it.

【Symmetric face】顔の歪み

We align people's skeletal structure everyday, and many people come to us with reasons other than common aches of head, shoulder and back. One of the reasons is contortions of face.

You look into your face everyday, and see something from cosmetic point of view such as

• levels of eyes are different
• glasses are not straight in the face
• levels of cheek bones are different
• levels of jaws are different etc...

Even if you come to us for these cosmetic point of view, we pursuit the original cause of contortions together with our clients.

Knowing how you are delivered at the time of your birth (normal delivery, forceps used, C-section, breech delivery, water bag broke early, etc) and other elements at your birth, and recalling your injured history after your birth would become very important process.

Babies with breech deliveries tend to have contortions on their pelvis, shoulder, jaws, face, back skull and side skulls as if those parts are lifted because they come out from their legs. As for their faces, side skulls on right and left are out of alignment, and that makes face (cheek bones, forehead, nose), and back skull distinguishing contortions.

Therefore, in order to align face, we also align head, neck, shoulder and back when necessary, looking at balance of the body.

You might be already notice by now, but when clients' original reasons for coming are solves by aligning, as results, other health conditions may also be improved.

We can say that clients wishing their faces to be symmetric would become as symmetric body as possible, and at the same time become healthy.

Please contact HSTi near you if you have such worries and wishes.

One of my clients was told by her colleague that she looked somehow different. She was born with C-section, and now is trying really hard to have health and beauty with us. I am looking forward to hearing such happy news from our clients.

【Parkinson's Disease 】パーキンソン病

- Stiffness and pain... weariness.... I had a job and everything was fine until a few years ago -

Mrs. A  Female in her 60's


Her back started to ache 5, 6 years ago and it's difficult for her to sit up for a long time.
She also tires easy and often feels like laying down.

She was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and related symptoms of defuse lewy body disease.

Her doctor said  "This illness's causes are unknown and we won't be able to treat the causes. But as a symptomatic treatment we can prescribe medicines and some improvement can be expected from them."

"I was energetically working up to a several years ago, and never thought my body stops movement like this...." she felt disappointed and annoyed, and her husband brought her to our shop.

Her most concerned conditons are:

Tightness on her back, pains and aches, right shoulder/neck pain
weak hands (difficult to hold small objects)
slowness of body movements, insomnia, constipation, difficulties speaking clearly
and slow walking.

Her face looked pale and she seems out of desires to do anything.

Accident/contusion histories are:

She hardly remember any except a couple.

As a small child, fell off from her bicycle and hurt tail bone very hard, and she couldn't sleep at night for about 3 months afterward.

When in a middle school, she helped rice planting and hurt her lower back.

Conditions of her birth:  Details are unknown but it was by a mid wife.

Contortions check in standing position:  Her body is leaning forward with stoop
Middle of her back hurts (burning sensations) and neck pain on right side.

Contorions on her skull are large, back skull has a dent on right side.
Turns on right side skull to front, left side skull to back, and the whole skull is largely off the balance.

I took a close look to find original causes of her contiorions.
Because of hitting her tail bone hard when she was a small child, her sacrum and entire hip bone became largely contorted, then her skull and shoulder blades contorions were causing burning sensaton on her back.

We always use ROLL technique, when we loosen up body, but her body was so tight and stiff and it didn't work at all.

For the first treatment, I wanted to ease her back pain which she concerned the most.
Adjustment started with side skulls, left superior/right interior hip bone and sacrum (afterward shoulder pain became less ), and finished by aligning large contortions of upper rib (rib #1-#6) and lower rib (#7-#12).

She said, "That rocking movement you call ROLL feels very nice. I feel my body loosening up. Burning sensation on my back is gone now."
She was able to feel the results!

Stiffness of her body eased a bit, and by the end of the treatment, her body moved with ROLL a little bit.

She came diligently for her treatment and gradually pains went away, and improvement is now visible although contortions on her skull are still quite large.

It is said that Parkinson diseases and defuse lewy body disease are caused by some abnormalities occurs in neo cortex, but I adjust her skeletal structures acording to HSTi theory and phylosophy.

Side skuls' balanced little by little and I focused on aligning the entire skull while paying attention to fill in a large dent on right side of back skull (behind eye/forehead)..

While I was treating her skull, certain parts used to hurt in the begening but no more.
She comes weekly and told us "When my skull is aligned, I feel very good"

Ever since she started to notice conditions of Parkinson's disease, she made walking as her routain exercise, because she feels without it, her body may become stiffer and even harder to move.

One morning, I was surprised to hear her very chearful "Good morning" and saw her moving around quite speedy and smoothly.

"Wow!  Mrs. A. Your voice has energy today. How are you feeling?"

"Recently my mind felt really cloudy and I didn't feel like doing anything, so I spoke to my doctor and he decrease my medication. And I started to feel really good. Cloudiness must have been the side effect of a medication."

It is a great improvement to feel well even after her medication has been reduced!

SInce her first visit,  her body movement, energy level in her voice, complextion color and her heart status, all are really making positive progress.

Now she walks home from our shop although it is quite a distance and takes about 1 hour.

Her cheerful "Good morning!" has been inspiring us also.

【Back pain during pregrancy 】妊娠中の腰痛

Mrs. N is in her 30's and has two boys. All of her family come for adjustment. Originally she came because she had chronic shoulder pain and contortions of jaw.

She came back for the first time in one year saying, "My back is hurting. I am 4 month pregnant. I had back pain when I was pregnant with older boys, and here comes again...I came here today because I heard HSTi can be done for pregnant women, too."

"Congratulations! Sure, you will be fine, I will take care of you till your full term."


First session (4 months)
She could still lay down on her prone position, and I aligned her pelvis, sacrum #3, hip joint, and ribs. The pain on the right side of sacrum disappeared after.


Second session (7 months)
Her belly was getting bigger. She happily said, "it is becoming a really big with the third one."

Belly was sticking out and chest was strained as baby gets bigger, and that makes harder for her back and sacrum. She was feeling pains in her back and sacrum.

This time, she laid on her back, and I aligned sacrum #1, #3, and #5 slowly. As she mentioned she's got runny nose, I also aligned her nose.


Third session (7 months)
"Today, I feel queasy, shoulder is tense, and a bit of pain in right back. But nose stopped running completely since the last session. I am amazed!"

It looked like her big belly was pressing her stomach, which made her feel queasy. I aligned ribs mainly, releasing twisted upper and lower ribs.

A few days later, she called me, "my queasy feeling was gone from the following day! Thank you."


Fourth session (8 months)
"Things were fine till yesterday. I feel queasy again, and pain in back, and a bit swollen. Maybe because I was sitting for a long time?!"
She put on some weight, and it was a bit of work to move around. During pregnancy, Doctors advice to be careful with your weight gain, no more then 10kg. But many women put on more than 10kg...I, myself, put on quite a bit of weight when I was pregnant, and was hard on my lower body. Legs were swollen, sore muscle, cramped, and very tiring to go up and down the stairs.

I aligned sacrum, hip joint, and ribs while sitting position and laying on her back.


Two months later
She delivered a fine baby boy, the third one!
I heard that it did not take that long, and was very easy labor.

A birth of new life makes everybody around happy.

It is my wish to support and watch over mothers, babies and children through skeletal structures adjustment.

【Shoulder pain】【Back pain】肩痛／腰痛

I would like to introduce you about our very very lucky client whose pain had gone after aligning just one part of the skull.

Condition: pain when lifting the right shoulder, pain when bending the body backward 

Both of the side skull had made large contortions due to a car accident he had experienced before, and the contortion made another contortions on the related parts of ribs and sacrum. That is why he had those pain.

Because the cause of the pain was very obvious, I started aligning his skull. I asked him to stand up after, and to see how he feels.

"Well, there's no more pain!!!"

He seems very surprised.

Knowing the original cause of the contortion makes things smoother, faster to improve. If you have pain in your body, try to recall your bruises in the past. You might find an answer.
