To therapists who are struggling to become someone they admire. | If you are a therapist school, executive academy Osaka | Blog

recently,
I feel like my job as a relaxation therapist is becoming increasingly difficult.

That's not because of a lack of technology,
It's not because I haven't tried hard enough.

Without leaving the scene,
The more seriously someone approaches the situation,
I'm starting to feel suffocated somewhere.

One of the reasons is,
Even though it's a relaxation setting,
I think we sometimes try too hard to talk about "improvement," "change," and "results."

"How can I improve my physical condition?"
"How will this technology change things?"

Such a question,
The relaxation therapist keeps asking themselves,
I'm suffering because I can't find an answer.

But I'd like you to stop for a moment and think about it.

That customer,
They don't have any disabilities,
I'm not seeking treatment for any illness.

What exactly do people who are able to live normal lives want to "improve," and to what extent?



Each profession inherently has its own role.

The role of a relaxation therapist is,
This is neither medical treatment, therapy, nor orthodontics.

It's about providing time to relax.
To create a safe space where people can relax and feel at ease.

But in today's industry,
"If you can't produce results, you're worthless."
"If you can't change things, you're not a professional."
That kind of atmosphere is quietly spreading.

In that atmosphere,
Therapists lose sight of their original role,
They try too hard to "become someone."



Please think about it.

She smiled more during the treatment.
My breathing deepened.
"I think I'll sleep well tonight," she said.
"I feel somehow at ease when I come here," she said.

That's really,
Can we definitively say that this is "not an improvement"?

Without changing your body,
The condition may change.

If the situation changes,
The quality of that person's day and their life,
Things will definitely change.



I think so.

The more a relaxation therapist pursues "improvement,"
It takes you away from relaxation.

If the only value is simply relieving stiffness,
It doesn't have to be a person.

but,
"I feel safe when this person touches me."
"When I come here, I can be myself again."

That feeling is,
It's something only humans can create.



Pay close attention to the genuine and natural reactions that come from your customers.
Rather than numbers or logic,
Please believe what is happening on the ground.

There,
There is a type of relaxation that only you can provide.

My job isn't just about relieving muscle stiffness.

When you forget that,
This job is
I think it would just become a chore.
