 Sotai is a Japanese form of muscular or movement therapy which was invented by Dr Keizo Hashimoto, a Japanese medical surgeon (1897–1993). Sotai therapy provides a method for neuromuscular re-education and promotes healing in the circulatory, nervous, endocrine and energetic systems by untwisting muscular holding patterns.

Through his knowledge of East Asian and Western medicine, Dr Hashimoto developed a model of treatment based on the principles of kinesiology and biomechanics. The underlying philosophy of Sotai is that the body will move towards a natural balance and away from pain.

Okyu or "Thread Moxa" is a moxibustion technique used often in Japanese style treatments. It creates an inflammatory response to the treated area. Chemicals from moxa left over after burning have a positive effect on the immune cells of the body, increases circulation of lymphocytes  and helps produce interferons (proteins that inhibit virus replication). Moxa has also been shown to increase the circulation of white blood cells in the body
