Okazaki Restoration Therapy “Seifukujitsu”

Seifukujitsu was developed by Henry Seishiro Okazaki (1890-1951).  He founded Danzan Ryu Jujitsu in Hawaii, and taught this Japanese-based combination of massage, acupressure, and herbal healing. The distinguishing factor is that the majority of the therapy is done with the crux of the elbow. Incorporated into this therapy are Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi, Swedish massage, and Japanese Anma massage with deep tissue and acupressure points. The goals of Okazki are to balance the energy flow in the body known as “Ki” in Japanese or “Chi” in Chinese, to break down scar tissue caused by injury, and to allow healing.
