Sage Sato method is one of the latest Japanese manual therapy. It was initially invented by Japanese dentist in Aichi prefecture Sage (Seiji) Sato (佐藤青児) for his patients with TMJ syndrome. But later the techniques were developed to adjust the whole body.
The light pressure (less than 5 grams) and gentle stimulation release stiff, tight and tense muscles, balance them and help to adjust the shapes of the body cavities ideally. The relaxed muscles pump interstitial fluid more and enhance the function of micro-circulation. By calming and relaxing the nerve and musculoskeletal systems, it also helps to reduce mental tension.
(Practitioners don't use pressing , kneading and stretching techniques like ordinal massage therapy.)
His techniques and theories still keep developing and now there are Lymph care, MRT (Muscle Release Technique), those selfcares, and some different types of taping techniques. He also created flexor system goods (socks, knees supporter, arm cover, shirts, bra and so on) to improve posture and reduce pain. Ear goods such as hoop, hook, cuff and clip were also developed from the technique released mastication muscles.
Sage Sato method (Sato shiki / 佐藤式 / さとう式) is sometimes called Zen Body Care.
