spinal cord injury
Re-acquired gait from bedridden complete paralysis
My life changed forever after I began rehabilitation with Dr. Yuasa.

After receiving rehabilitation from Dr. Yuasa, my life began to shine.

After a stroke at the age of 80 completely paralyzed the right side of my body, I was told that I would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life and would be forced to live a bedridden life. However, through a care manager's introduction, I met Dr. Yuasa, and my life was miraculously changed.
Paralysis of left upper and lower limbs due to stroke. Miraculous recovery from wheelchair life!
My encounter with Dr. Yuasa was the catalyst that changed my life. 78 years old, I was in need of nursing care 4, suffering from complete paralysis of my left lower limb, and needed assistance with hip support to turn over in bed and get up. Dr. Yuasa's guidance and encouragement gave me new hope.
Bedridden for unknown reason
Bedridden after cervical spine surgery. Recovered to be able to work in the fields!
By the time she reached her 60th birthday, she had lost the use of her legs and began to have difficulty with her daily activities. My husband quit his job and devoted himself to caring for her, and we renovated our house to make it barrier-free. At that time, I visited Dr. Yuasa for counseling and received care for my toes, which led to an amazing recovery.
osteoarthritis of the knee
He was told there was no other way but surgery, but he recovered to the point where he can walk without pain.
The Hironoba Gymnastics lecture was held at Across Fukuoka, an entertainment-type lecture in which the participants of about 1,000 were invited to come out and treat themselves on the stage if they wished. She had osteoarthritis of the knees, which had worn away the cartilage in both knees, and was advised to have surgery on both knees. The pain in her knees made it difficult for her to go up and down stairs, and it was painful for her to stand for long periods of time. However, after 10 minutes of toe splinting care, her knee pain disappeared and she was able to walk up and down stairs without using a handrail, and she was able to walk without pain.
Diagnosed with no other option but surgery. Recovered to the point of being able to travel without a wheelchair.
I began to suffer from pain in both knees. The doctor diagnosed me with osteoarthritis of the knees and found that the cartilage in both knees was worn away. The doctor recommended surgery, but I was reluctant to take the plunge considering the difficulty and risks involved. The pain was so severe that it interfered with my daily life and made it difficult for me to even get up from a chair. After two weeks, a remarkable change occurred.
