Why visit TRAIN Clinic?
A qualified practitioner
Care is provided by a Japanese nationally licensed practitioner. We listen to your concerns and discuss the treatment with you.

YOUR TREATMENT OPTIONS
Massage, shiatsu & acupuncture in Shinsaibashi
You do not need to know which technique to choose. Tell us how your body feels and what you would enjoy.
Japanese massage & shiatsu
Hands-on massage and finger pressure, adjusted to the areas that feel tired or tense. Choose the pressure you find comfortable.
Acupuncture
Treatment using fine needles, offered when appropriate after a discussion of your concerns and preferences. You can decline needles at any point.
Cupping
An optional treatment using suction cups. Ask about suitability and possible temporary skin marks before deciding whether to include it.
FOR VISITORS FAMILIAR WITH NEEDLE TREATMENT
Dry needling in Osaka
Dry needling is a needle-based approach to muscle-related pain and tension, often focusing on myofascial trigger points. It uses fine, solid needles without injecting medication.
Acupuncture includes a range of approaches. Differences often relate to assessment and the choice of needling sites. Trigger-point acupuncture and dry needling share some ideas and techniques; the names alone do not describe identical treatment.
Muscle- and trigger-point-focused acupuncture
At TRAIN Clinic, needle treatment is provided by a Japanese nationally licensed acupuncturist. Muscle- and trigger-point-focused treatment is considered within your acupuncture consultation. Tell us about any previous dry needling and what you would like us to address.
Ask us about the specific technique before booking; do not assume it will be the same as treatment you received elsewhere.

Before choosing needle treatment
Needle treatment can cause soreness, minor bleeding or bruising. Fainting and infection are also possible. Rare serious complications include pneumothorax (a collapsed lung), particularly with needling around the chest.
Discuss suitability and risks before treatment, including any pregnancy, medication, bleeding problems or previous reactions to needles. Seek urgent medical help if you develop breathing difficulty or chest pain after needling.
Massage may cause temporary soreness. Cupping can leave temporary marks and may irritate the skin. Tell us about discomfort during your session. Treatment choices and individual responses vary; no result is guaranteed.

Make room for a restful pause
Long flights, carrying luggage and walking around Dotonbori can leave you feeling ready for a break. Talk to us about travel fatigue, neck and shoulder tension, back discomfort or tired legs. We will discuss your needs, your health and the kind of session you prefer.
Treatment and individual responses vary. Tell us about injuries, medical conditions, pregnancy or medication before your session.
