Director: Dr. Hiroto Tsujino
Dr. Hiroto Tsujino of Tokuyoshi Tsujino Osteopathic Clinic, located in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is a highly trusted judo therapist in the community. He prioritizes raising patients' awareness of self-care and strives to provide treatments that are effective even with visits only once every few weeks.
This time, we interviewed Professor Tsujino about how to utilize Somanics and tips for raising patients' awareness of self-care.
Could you tell me what led you to adopt Somanics?
I myself suffer from stiff shoulders, so a friend recommended it to me. To be honest, I was skeptical at first. I thought it might be something like magnetic tape.
ButWhen I actually used it, it was easier than I expected.I thought, "This is interesting!" I first tried it on my family, and they all said, "It made me feel better," so I thought I'd recommend it to my patients as well.
How do people typically use it?
The most common complaint is stiff shoulders. I also use it for people suffering from nighttime leg cramps and menstrual pain. I particularly remember a patient who was troubled by leg cramps every night. She wanted to stretch but was too sleepy because it was the middle of the night, so I had her try it, and she told me that the cramps stopped after that.
Previously, I mainly used taping, but it was time-consuming. With taping, it took about 10 minutes from preparation to application,With Somanics, the treatment can be completed in 1-2 minutes, making the session more meaningful.I think.
At our hospital,They are attached at a cost of 200 yen each, and approximately 4 pieces are recommended.I often use them. I'd like to know how much other teachers are paying for them.
Please tell us what you, Dr. Tsujino, feel is important for achieving the effects of Somanics.
First, I perform palpation to find tender points and areas that radiate pain. I believe it's important to find areas where the patient responds. When the practitioner finds such areas, the patient feels reassured, and I believe that making the patient feel at ease is also important for controlling pain. In addition, I also focus on the nervous and muscular systems.
I often stick them on points I want to highlight.
Also, at the Somanics seminarSomaceptomioとSomarezonhemI was given advice on how to best use them, so lately I've been using the two products in combination.

Are there any SOMANIKS cases that stand out to you, Dr. Tsujino?
I was impressed by how well it worked for patients with stiff necks. Especially as you taught me,SomaceptomioとSomarezonhemBy combining and utilizing these methods, we were able to make our patients very happy.

What symptoms have you found Somanics to be particularly effective for?
At our clinic, we aim for improvement to be seen even with visits only once every two to three weeks, so patients who are highly conscious of self-care tend to see better results, and I myself...I spend my days thinking about how best to raise patients' awareness.
Somanics is also useful in raising patient awareness, giving patients an opportunity to confront their own bodies.They've been doing it. When I ask them, "Could you please keep wearing it until next time?", they become more conscious of their physical condition in their daily lives.
Also, I feel that female patients, in particular, often place importance on being able to take care of themselves. Rather than having everything completed within the clinic,The ability to provide care at home seems to give people peace of mind.Furthermore, I've found that Somanics is particularly effective for those who experience clear symptoms such as menstrual cramps.
