Developed by Kuniaki Imoto, founder of the Imoto Seitai Method and author of the best-selling book Jintai Rikigaku (Human Body Dynamics), this unique approach aims to restore the body's natural balance.
Through this experience, I gained a deeper understanding of the human body and the diversity of human sensitivity.

Over time, I became convinced that this remarkable Japanese tradition deserved to be shared with the wider world. Following that conviction, I closed my practice and moved to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where I spent seven years introducing Seitai to an international community.

Working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds gave me a deeper appreciation of both the remarkable diversity of human sensitivity and the qualities we all share.

Seitai treatments with Ken resets my body back to balance. It is the most effective form of body work I have ever experienced, and with long lasting results.
I first started treatments with Ken 2 years ago when I was struggling with extreme fatigue and pain as a result of a frozen shoulder. After only 3 sessions I had increased mobility, I was pain free and with a much bigger sense of vitality.
After a period of seeing Ken every two weeks, I now aim for at least once a month simply because it is a real treat to know my body is receiving exactly the touch and the adjustments needed to keep me functioning at my best.
I keep recommending Ken to all my friends and they are all impressed with the results. I feel extremely grateful for Ken’s care and expertise with an ancient wholistic practice which actually works!

Kensaku has a patient and kind nature. I always felt heard and comfortable during the exercises and massage.
I went to him with, amongst others, knee pain. After about 4 sessions I was able to walk longer stretches again and my pains eased.
I recommend his saitai treatment to anyone seeking a deeper understanding and treatment for their physical ailments.

I was recommended to Ken by a friend who had experienced Seitai’s special results before in her life and who was now very happy to have (finally) found a practitioner in Amsterdam and surroundings.
Ken is very knowledgeable, kind, gentle & modest … his hands flawlessly find the sensitive points on your body and with firm pressure (can be quite painful) he brings current where there was stagnation …
I came mainly for complaints on my hips and Ken’s treatments have helped very well … in addition, I am now better in my body & skin!
So I can really recommend him to you!
