空還
Philosophy
Movement, seitai, acupuncture, and sitting.One continuous hour, not a list of treatments.That is zen, as we practise it at kuukan.
Align the posture, deepen the breath, let the body flow.In that order, we compose an hour for each person,and open and close it in stillness.Time for the head, the body and the heart to rest at once.
An hour at kuukan

IIICare
Care for the body
Care
Seitai, training, acupuncture, heat, zazen.Not separate treatments,but combined for each person.
- I
Seitai整体
Reading the skeleton and fascia by hand, we bring the whole body back into balance. Long-standing discomfort is approached from its background, not its surface.
- II
Trainingトレーニング
From an aligned body to a body you can use in daily life. Gentle movement built around posture and the core, composed for each person.
- III
Acupuncture鍼灸
Needles and moxibustion placed along the meridians, guided by the view of East Asian medicine. A quiet time in which the breath travels deep.
- IV
Heat温熱
Far-infrared warmth and hot stones to warm the body from its core. Placed before or after treatment and movement, as time for the body to loosen.
- V
Zazen坐禅
Settle the breath and posture, and simply sit. Sitting in a body that has just been aligned becomes a time to quietly let the mind go.

I had struggled for years with sciatica from a herniated disc, and precise treatment brought remarkable relief. Open from early morning to late at night, so I can keep coming even when busy.

I can come empty-handed and receive care matched to how I feel that day. With acupuncture, seitai, training and the bedrock bed on the menu, it is reassuring to have the right session composed for my condition each time. I had struggled for years with sciatica from a herniated disc, and at times could suddenly not bend at the waist, but precise treatment brought remarkable relief. Being open from early morning to late at night makes it easy to keep coming within a busy routine.

A personal gym I have trusted for more than four years. Shoes, wear and water are all provided, so coming empty-handed is wonderful.
