"Type" | If you are a therapist school, executive academy Osaka | Blog

The classic style of Swedish massage that I have been teaching for a long time has a set "form."

I'll skip the details about Swedish "forms" because it would take too long, but without these "forms," the highest level of technique is impossible.

What is a "type"?

It's a term often heard in martial arts, traditional performing arts, and sports, and I think many people are aware that "forms" are considered important as the foundation and basis of these disciplines.

① The term "form" contains wisdom.
(Forms that do not contain wisdom will be naturally selected against.)

② The "form" that contains wisdom is inherently flexible and can change.

③ The wisdom acquired through "forms" becomes internalized within each individual.

④ Each individual can utilize their wisdom by expressing it through a "form" in their current situation.

[Manifestation] The process by which latent things become apparent.
