KARADA - A Japanice Body Therapy

A few weeks back I discovered KARADA Japanese Body Therapy. With its a bit striking orange motif that I almost mistook it as Yoshinoya (yes, as in the Japanese fast food), I couldn't help but notice its facade in the newly rennovated Glorietta 2. 

 

 

 

I read the poster hanging on its glass wall, first thinking that it's a spa, and there I realized that it's more of a physical therapy clinic. After having spoken with a staffer/therapist, I was immediately interested in their services mostly because it's a Japanese technique (of course XD) and partly due to the results of my recent  annual physical examination.

 

 

My X-ray results showed that I have a mild case of levoscoliosis and so I thought what better time to try this Japanese Body Therapy than now?

A few days after, I called to reserve a schedule. It is highly advisable that you call and secure a schedule in advance if you intend to avail their services since their schedules can be full. I opted for the "AP & Body Treatment" for 90 minutes.

It was quite an experience. The therapist first assessed my condition and did a series of techniques. I was amused with the drop-bed. LOL XD But what really made me baffled were the bone-crunching twists and snaps especially when my back bone did a snapping sound thrice. XDD Immediately after that maneuver, I can sit or stand straight effortless or with a lot of ease. Surprsingly after the session, I did not feel any adverse pain or whatsoever. It was really a wonderful therapy. I've been planning to schedule another sessioin as soon as I get a little more free time and perhaps do it a little more often.

 

 

Apparently, their Glorietta brach is their first. They will soon be opening two other braches in Makati City. One in Salcedo Village and the other is in a hotel if I remember it right.

The Japanese word KARADA, by the way, literally means "body" in English.
