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.
