    My Hunchback Won't Go Away Even Though I Work Out ？ A Physical Therapist Talks About the Body

    [It’s Not Just “Muscles” That Determine Your Posture]

    Last time, we discussed how trying to “correct a hunched back” by arching your lower back too much can actually put strain on your lower back.

    So,

    “Strengthen your abs”
    “Strengthen your back”
    “stretching your chest”

    What should you do if your rounded shoulders still don’t improve? ？

    --------------------- --------------------------------------- -

    Actually, it’s not just muscles and bones that determine our posture.

    Around the chest is a structure of ribs called the “thoracic cage.”
    Inside the ribcage are organs essential for sustaining life, such as the lungs, heart, and stomach.

    If these organs experience tension or restricted movement, the body may unconsciously adjust its posture.

    ----------------------------------------------------------- --

    For example, if the tissues surrounding the lungs are stiff, movement of the ribcage may be restricted, causing the body to hunch forward.
    In some cases, tension may remain in the tissues surrounding the ribcage following past trauma or a strong impact.


    Also, when you have an upset stomach, don’t you naturally feel the urge to hunch over? ？
    When your stomach hurts, you instinctively clutch your abdomen and curl up.

    This is one of the body’s natural reactions to reduce discomfort and protect its internal organs.

    -------------------------- ---------------------------------- -

    In other words,

    it’s not that “having a hunched back causes physical problems”; rather,
    it’s possible that your physical condition is what’s causing you to hunch over in the first place.

    That is precisely why some cases of a hunched back won’t improve simply by strengthening the muscles.

    The key is to

    ask yourself, “Why has this person’s body adopted this posture? ？”

    Next time, we’ll take it a step further and discuss the possibility that a hunched posture serves as a “defensive posture” to protect the body.

    [NY Essay] How Do People Become Themselves?

    Hello.

    I’m Tomoko Okamoto, and I work as a fertility treatment coordinator at a fertility clinic in Manhattan.

    While supporting hundreds of Japanese patients over the years, I’ve had many opportunities to reflect not only on the treatment itself but also on the lives and choices behind it.

    I have also gone through fertility treatment myself; after giving birth to my daughter, I experienced secondary infertility.

    I have recently started a series of essays on Note to share my reflections on my work and life.

    https://note.com/tomokofertility


    I hope to write not only about fertility treatment but also about women’s lifestyles, choices, family, and growing older.

    Part 1
    “A Woman’s Path Is a Straight One: How I Became Atsuhime While Undergoing Fertility Treatment in New York”

    Part 2
    “One Afternoon with Latin Music Playing, We Talked About Bridges”

    Part 3
    “Americans These Days Take Good Care of Themselves”

    Part 4
    “June 2026: New York in Turmoil”

    I’d be delighted if you could read this when you have a moment.

    I plan to continue updating this series, so I appreciate your continued support.

    The Harder You Try to "Fix Your Hunchback," the More Your Lower Back Hurts ？ A Physical Therapist Explains the Body

    [How to Achieve “Proper Posture”—Something Many People Actually Get Wrong]

    When suffering from persistent stiff shoulders or lower back pain, it’s not uncommon for people to think, “I have a hunched back, so I need to correct my posture.”

    Especially in Japan, from a young age,

    “Stand up straight,”
    “Sit up straight,”
    “Sit up straight”

    from a young age.
    However, there’s one major pitfall here.

    ------------------- ------------------------------------------ -

    Some people end up hurting their lower back as a result of trying to “correct their hunched posture.”

    ----------------------- ---------------------------------------

    When you slouch, your shoulders jut forward, your chest caves in, and your back rounds.

    When trying to correct this posture, people often focus so much on their back that they end up arching only their lower back while keeping their chest hunched.
    This places unnecessary strain on the lower back without sufficiently adjusting the position of the shoulders.

    In other words,

    correcting a hunched back is not simply a matter of “straightening your back and arching your lower back.”

    To correct your posture, it is important to stabilize your core without arching your lower back, naturally open your rib cage, and allow your shoulder blades to move freely.

    ---------- --------------------------------------------------- -

    First, sit back deeply in your chair, gently pull your abdomen in, and stabilize your lower back.
    Then, open up your hunched chest and naturally move your shoulder blades backward.

    However, there is something even more important to note here.

    Some people find that even though they’re conscious of maintaining proper posture, their rounded shoulders just won’t improve.
    In such cases, the cause may not be solely “muscle weakness.”

    Next time, I’ll discuss why a hunched back doesn’t improve even with strength training and stretching.

    It’s possible that muscles aren’t the only factor determining your posture.

    Before You Turn to the Pill ： A Physical Therapist Explains: “Why Your Uterus Needs a Massage, Too” ③

    Part 3 ： The Root Causes of Menstrual Cramps and a “Mechanical” Approach from the Male Perspective

    Menstrual cramps and PMS （ premenstrual syndrome ） plague many women.

    While treatments that control hormone levels—such as low-dose birth control pills—are common,
    these may only provide “temporary relief of symptoms,” much like cough medicine, and some people suffer from side effects.

    From a physical therapy perspective, the priority is to resolve the “structural （ mechanical ） issues” within the pelvis that are impairing the function of the ovaries themselves,
    and restoring the body’s natural rhythm is the top priority.

    -------------------------------------- ----------------------- -

    Furthermore, this mechanical approach is effective not only for women but also for men suffering from （ prostate issues and ED, among other conditions ）.

    Since these conditions are deeply influenced by the balance of the autonomic nervous system （—specifically the sympathetic ・ and parasympathetic ） nerves—
    it is possible to enhance the body’s natural healing abilities by realigning the fascia and nerve pathways around the pelvis.

    We have received many comments from our patients stating that, with repeated treatments, “the severity of my menstrual cramps has changed” or “my sensitivity to cold has eased.”
    Before relying on medication or advanced medical treatments, why not take a fresh look at your body’s “structure”? ？

    Kiichiro Sports Seitai NYC

    The condition of a first-rate athlete is more than a single overwhelming performance; it is the ability to keep competing.

    We believe that body care is also more about being able to move consistently every day than about making big temporary changes.

    To achieve this, we should not do anything special, but rather reduce the excess in a casual way.

    That is my idea of bodywork.

    In Kiichiro Sports Seitai, we don't do anything special. It is just a treatment to prepare your body. Please use it only when you need it.

    Things You Can Do Before In Vitro Fertilization ： A Physical Therapist Explains: “Why the Uterus Needs Massage, Too” ②

    Part 2 ： Before sowing seeds, prepare the garden first. Physical Therapy to Support Fertility Treatment

    In fertility treatment, in vitro fertilization （ IVF ） and intrauterine insemination （ IUI ） are common options.
    However, when repeated rounds of expensive treatment fail to yield results, one factor that is often overlooked is the “maternal receptivity.”

    ---------------------------- ----------------------------------

    Let’s use gardening as an analogy.

    No matter how expensive the “seeds （ fertilized eggs ） ” you plant in a neglected, overgrown yard, flowers won’t bloom if the soil is buried in trash and isn’t receiving enough water and nutrients.
    First, you must remove the tires and trash, till the soil （ ＝ and get the garden in order ）.

    ------- ------------------------------------------------------ -

    Loosening adhesions in the female reproductive system and correcting the curvature of the fallopian tubes is precisely this process of “tending the garden.”
    Furthermore, by releasing the tension in the fascia surrounding the arteries, blood flow to the uterus （ ＝—like fertilizer and water for the soil ）—improves dramatically.
    Creating a flexible, nutrient-rich uterine environment is the hidden shortcut to pregnancy.

    In the next and final installment, I’ll discuss the mechanisms behind menstrual cramps and approaches to addressing male reproductive health issues.

    ◎ At ： OMPTNY
    , a physical therapy clinic in New York specializing in （ Visceral Manipulation ）, we use these techniques to help improve the environment within the pelvis.

    For Those Suffering from Menstrual Cramps or Infertility ： A Physical Therapist Explains: “Why the Uterus Needs Massage, Too” ①

    Part 1 ： Problems with the Uterus or Ovaries May Actually Be Caused by “Intra-pelvic Adhesions” ？

    When facing gynecological issues such as menstrual cramps, infertility, PMS （ premenstrual syndrome ）—when faced with gynecological issues like these,
    many people assume it’s a problem with “hormonal balance （ chemical ）” and opt for birth control pills or other drug treatments.

    However, in many cases, the underlying cause is actually a problem with “body structure and movement （ mechanical ） .”

    ------ ------------------------------------------------------- -

    For example, consider a past “appendectomy.”
    Even if the scar on the skin fades, adhesions may remain deep within the internal organs （ and fascia ）.

    ----------------------------------------------------------- ---

    These visceral scars interfere with the pelvis’s normal movement, and over the course of 10 or 20 years,
    they can lead to pelvic misalignment, lower back pain, and even impaired function of the ovaries and uterus located within the pelvis.

    We physical therapists （ PT ） focus on these structural “adhesions” and use manual techniques to release them.
    The root cause of these issues may lie hidden in the stiffness of microscopic, invisible tissues.

    --------------------------------- -----------------------------

    In the next installment, I’ll explain specific approaches to fertility treatment by comparing maternal care to “gardening.”
