Spiral Movement Center is unlike any other treatment clinic that i have ever attended. Since having had two major spinal surgeries, I have had physiotherapy, massage and worked with a personal trainer, and although, they all gave me some help in strengthening muscles or reducing pain, I just couldn't achieve what I did in working with Yuji over the course of nearly 7 weeks. It's hard to explain all the different kinds of treatments that Yuji has in his arsenal. He works in a very methodical way, starting with alleviating pain and releasing tense muscles. A huge part of the treatment is learning how to relax and let your mind make adjustments to your body. i had been used to stretching muscles after working out but using my body- mind together causes a much deeper relaxation of any tensions. Once you learn the technique, you can do it anywhere, anytime. I have learned how to stand and walk so as reduce pain in areas like my right side SI joint. I have been able to add muscle bulk in my lower legs. No therapist before Yuji seemed to know how to do this. My lower left leg has essentially only two functioning nerves and i was unable to walk very fair or for very long before the leg would begin to weaken and I would have to stop and sit down. Now, I am able to walk 1km. Yuji is extremely generous with his time. I can contact him if i have any problems and he always has suggestions and ideas for me. I had reached the point where I had basically accepted the limitations of my body, and there was no possibility of ever making any significant improvements, but after meeting and working with Yuji, I realized that I had set my bar too low. A therapist is only as good as his patient and so you must be prepared to work in tandem with Yuji. You have to put into practice the things he teaches. The rewards are worth all the effort.

Yuji's gift of imaginally (and magically!) reconnecting the body and the mind, in the service of releasing muscle tension and living optimally, helped me get free of back pain from 6 years of suffering.

My non-speaking autistic son has been attending classes and private sessions here for over 5 years. We consider his weekly time with Andrew and Yuji (and previously, Stephanie) essentials in his schedule. It is almost impossible to put into words how wonderful the work they do is. They seek to understand each disabled person's needs as unique and then think of creative way to help them improve and practice how they move their bodies for better living. Go to their website and facebook page to see videos of some of the amazing help they have given to so many.

I found this place by searching exercises for my kids online and was truly amazed at the videos of other patients. I have triplets with cerebral palsy and I was very impressed by the great reviews/reports from this place, so we decided to take a 2 week trip there (coming from Texas) and give this therapy a try. From the moment I met Yuji I found a very honest, honorable person. He was willing to work with my kids at any time we were available, with flexibility and understanding of our needs. Both my kids responded well to the therapy, and we started to see improvements in such a short time. It’s almost like a switch physically and mentally turned on during the therapy. They loved their sessions and were always looking forward to it. Thanks to this therapy our neurologist decided not to give my son baclofen (medication to treat muscle spasms). Even though he has quadriplegia, he can now roll on his own and use his hands more purposefully. He has learned to relax his body and he’s still re-Discovering everything he can do. My other son has hemiplegia, and is now starting to use his right hand to grab objects and use it also for weight bearing. All of this took place in just 2 weeks of treatment. I want to take them back as I think this therapy is truly amazing. All of my boy’s therapists and the neurologist were very impressed at how different in tone and movement my boys were. My OT even said that I hit the jackpot with this therapy and I truly believe I did. I’m looking forward to returning with my kids to discovery other possibilities that this therapy may open up.
