"The true feeling of comfort cannot be described by '3-5 cm/second'." | If you are a therapist school, executive academy Osaka | Blog

"3-5 cm/second feels comfortable."

This story is,
It originated from research into tactile sensations that respond well to gentle strokes.

However, the "pleasant feeling" you experience during an actual treatment isn't just the gentle sensation of light stroking.

Deep pressure.
A time to slowly accept it.
A way of touching that allows you to entrust your body to someone with peace of mind.

When those things pile up,
I think it becomes a feeling of "comfort."

that's why,
The moment you consciously try to touch something at a pace of "3-5 cm per second," you might lose that feeling of comfort.

Comfort is not created by speed,
It's something that arises when body weight is naturally transmitted to the tissues, and the body can accept it with confidence.

As a result,
Even if the speed slows down,
The first thing to focus on is not speed.

What's important isn't chasing speed, but allowing body weight to be naturally transferred to the tissues. Speed will naturally follow as a result. I believe that this kind of touch leads to true comfort.
