In Japan, there is a facility called Seikotsuin (Osteopathic Clinic) and they provide a range of treatments, such as deep muscle treatment. This clinic provides treatment called "judo orthopedic". Judo, which also appears in the Olympic Games, is a Japanese national sports, and is derives from Japanese jujitsu which is an ancient Japanese martial art. Jujitsu has "killing" to kill the opponent and "living" to resuscitate and treat the injured person, and the technique of that "killing" has now become judo. On the other hand, the "living" method has become a "judo orthopedic" for the treatment of bone and muscle aches.
