Morita Treatment Room is located in Hamanochaya, Kurashiki City, in a stylish building that was originally a clinic. The waiting room and the treatment rooms on the first and second floors are open and relaxing spaces.
Morita Tomofumi, D.O. (Diploma of Osteopathy), who worked in rehabilitation as a physical therapist, opened Morita Treatment Room, specializing in osteopathy, in 2020. He currently treats patients together with Kondo Kenshin.
Osteopathy is characterized by viewing the whole body as an interconnected unit, rather than focusing on just one part.
“I hope that by drawing out the healing and vital powers a person already has, I can help them return to their daily lives and improve their quality of life,” says Morita D.O. We asked him what Morita Treatment Room is like.
The information presented is current as of the article’s publication in June 2026. Please note that it may differ from current information.
Who visits the clinic?
Seven to eight out of every ten people who visit Morita Treatment Room are women, mainly in their 20s to 50s. About one in ten patients is a child under 18, and some are babies as young as zero years old.
Patients come with a wide range of concerns.
These include palpitations, headaches, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, and chronic fatigue caused by autonomic nervous system imbalances. Many have been told that no particular abnormality was found, but feel unwell and have difficulty with daily life. After researching their symptoms, they consider their options and visit Morita Treatment Room.
The clinic also receives consultations about child development, including children experiencing anxiety or panic symptoms, and those whose anxiety is so severe they cannot go to school, as well as consultations about plagiocephaly and scoliosis.
For this reason, Morita Treatment Room holds a “Child Development Support” session on the first Sunday of every month. Since a child’s physical condition is closely connected to their relationships with family and their environment, the clinic makes a point of treating the whole family together.
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a form of medicine systematized in 1874 by American physician Dr. Andrew Taylor Still.
Osteopathy focuses on drawing out the healing power people already possess. It treats a wide range of conditions, from common stiff shoulders and lower back pain to autonomic nervous system imbalances, chronic fatigue, headaches, and insomnia—ailments that are difficult to detect through examinations—by tracing their causes through the connections throughout the body.
Many countries in the United States and Europe recognize it as a licensed profession.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has also established educational standards. It can be considered a form of medicine with a growing track record worldwide.
From consultation to palpation: examining the whole body
The process begins by asking about the patient’s medical history and other details. During the consultation, the practitioner asks not only about current symptoms but also about past injuries and lifestyle habits.
After considering the causes and forming a hypothesis, the next step is palpation while checking the patient’s movements. The practitioner carefully examines not only the muscles and bones, but also the tension in the internal organs and nerve ganglia.
“There’s nothing mysterious about what I do. I’m applying methods that are also used in Western medicine,” says Morita D.O.
Changes after treatment
Some people feel a change in their body immediately after treatment, but many say they notice a difference after two or three days, saying, “I feel better,” “It’s easier to breathe,” or “I can sleep now.”
At the heart of Morita D.O.’s approach is not “making the body better through treatment,” but rather “creating a state in which the body’s natural healing power can work more effectively.” Treatment is guided by the patient’s bodily responses, based on medical foundations such as anatomy, physiology, neurology, and embryology.
He also treats animals such as dogs and cats. “The basic approach is the same as for people. Only the anatomy is different; the way of thinking doesn’t change,” says Morita D.O. He says that children and animals have “pure vitality,” and tend to respond well and recover quickly.
We asked Morita D.O., who opened an osteopathy-specialist clinic in Kurashiki, what led him to this path and what lies ahead.
