General direction for SEITAI exercises 1

[When? Where? How much often? How many times?]

In the beginning of treatment, your exercises are to relax rigid muscles around problematic area (not very refined).
Then, whenever, however, you can do them, as much as you feel good. Please remind that the point is PLEASURE.
 SEITAI exercises is not training of strengthen partial muscles, nor torture.
Don’t think you must do until you feel very tired.
Don’t count the number, pay attention to movement and feeling of the body.
Typical misunderstanding about doing exercise is that muscles must be exhausted, you must feel hard, painful, you must force beyond limit of mobility of joints, elasticity of muscles. More doing, more effective, even though you get too tired.
I think that this disciplined mind - enduring penance is virtue - is cause of not listening your body’s voice -feeling, pain.
This self torturing often make your sense of the body dull. Then, you may break body’s function by your wrong effort.

There are two kinds of pain and fatigue. One is pleasant, the other is displeased.
You should discriminate comfortable pain from dangerous pain while doing exercise.

Another mistaking to do exercises is doing like an unwilling duty, then it becomes loose like a marionette, you don’t feel any tension. It means that movement is not exact. Your body has a habit not to use that muscle.
If you feel your exercise is very easy, you should do more careful, slowly, not to pass through the point.

It is useful to attend to keep the center line of the body for exact movement.
You may notice difference between right side and left side.
Try to adjust that imbalance, then you feel well instantly.
