Therapeutic Deep Bodywork
For travelers suffering from persistent pain, tension, or structural imbalances caused by long flights, heavy backpacks, or everyday stress — this is more than a massage.
Performed by the owner of KARTENA KYOTO, a nationally licensed therapist with expertise in traditional Japanese bodywork, chiropractic principles, and anatomical correction techniques, this session offers deep, targeted treatment for real results.
Each session is uniquely customized after assessing your posture, muscle condition, and mobility. It's ideal for those seeking clinical precision with hands-on care, rather than just relaxation.

Recommended For:
- Guests with chronic pain, stiffness, or misalignment
- Travelers experiencing hip, back, or neck pain from long-haul flights or walking
- Active individuals recovering from sports fatigue or muscle overuse
- Anyone needing a therapeutic reset beyond surface-level treatment
What Makes It Different?

・Performed by the Owner
This treatment is available only by direct appointment with the licensed therapist and salon founder, ensuring the highest level of skill and care.

・Therapeutic Focus
The techniques go beyond relaxation to directly address the root causes of discomfort — improving posture, releasing deep muscular adhesions, and enhancing mobility.

This session includes movement principles derived from traditional Japanese martial arts, focusing on efficient body mechanics, balance, and non-forceful pressure application — a rare experience outside Japan.
