To keep good shape of the body !! - metabolic syndrome and Pelvis. SEITAI view point

Metabolic syndrome is -  simply to say that the obesity(fatness) of internal organs  which come from high blood sugar level, high blood presser, high fatty blood. This disorder of metabolism damage circulation system. It's could cause of obesity,diabetes,heart disease,cerebral accident(stroke).  
The main reason of  metabolic syndrome is considered high fatty diet and lack of exercise.

This disorder of metabolism is close relation with movement of pelvis. The movement of pelvis need proper strength of inner muscles and balance with outer muscles(surface muscles).Inner muscle is pull up the parts of the body to the center. Theses muscles are exist around joints and deep layer of the body.It's means build up strength  of centralization. Pelvis is move periodically. Inner muscles are difficult to be make strength with machine training like.
Most effective way to develop inner muscle is exercises which you use balance of the body. The pelvis is formed with sacrum, iliac born and coccyx. Sacrum and iliac born are jointed with strong ligament.This is called articulatio sacroiliaca(sacrum iliac joint).The inner muscle,iliopsoas muscle( iliac born and lumber muscle) cover this sacrum iliac joint and support periodic movement of pelvis.  This is important movement for menstruation, elimination,and digestion. Because as you see that location of pelvis hold sexual organs, intestine,even connect with spine. These Physiologic function effect to circulation system as well.
Outer muscle( surface muscles) and inner muscle is support smooth closing and opening movement  of joints.
It's sacrum iliac joint also.
But now a days, generally people work on the desk without much movement, or using only part of the body, and many of exercises doesn't use whole part of the body and balance. Then only outer muscle is used.  It cause of stiffness of the pelvis, and shape of pelvis run outward and the muscle dull out.
Therefor the body can not keep good shape toward the center,and lose the strength of balance.
If you really want to good shape of body, physiologic function  and  real strength of the body, you need to work inner muscle, and keep smooth movement of the pelvis.

SEITAI watch the body as whole, doesn't matter the name of disease

For example, I'm treating some clients who have eye's problems.
cataract, asthenopia, blindness.. names of disease that docters give are all defferent. symptoms and causes too.
But I do same for all cases.
I check whole body where blockage which interfere eyes' function is.
One has blockage near the spine, other has on the chest, or near neck, ribs or around iliac bone.. each case is different.
Just take the blockage away, and make 'KI' flow to eyes.

Location of these blockages seems to be unrelated each other. But for SEITAI therapist they are related.
We don't divide the body as parts.
If we watch the body as whole, problem become easier to understand and solve.

I'm sorry, because I'm Japanese, it's too difficult to write right English.
I wish you don't care. Just I want to tell  the idea of SEITAI.

see you!

What is the meaning of the word,SEITAI?

SEITAI is Japanese word.  It was coined by the founder of SEITAI method, Nogichi Haruchika (1911~1976). Chinese character (kanji) SEI means adjust, TAI means body, so, in a literal sense, SEITAI means adjusting body.
But it has  much more implication. It is difficult to express what SEITAI is in short sentences.
I'll try to do it.
see you soon!
