Doin Seitai Center

Worth a try.
I had approximately six sessions with Nori this year. He was referred to me by a good friend who spoke of him highly.
Ive been dealing with chronic neck pain and am now in the middle of a severe flare over a year.
Nori occupies an apartment style unit in a midtown building. You feel like you are meeting a real life Mr. Miagi. His face has a kindness and youthfulness I often see in healers.
His bodywork is different than any other I’ve experienced. He basically repositions your bones, by whatever method. That often involves his feet pressed against your body, a mallet type instrument (no kidding) he hammers at you (On one occasion the mallet knocked me in the head. he was rather nonplussed when i Unilocaled out loud). This is not a relaxing massage, although a few sessions are preceded with some shiatsu given by his assistant.
Each session is marked by him saying ‘1, 2, 3 followed by a maneuver of some sort’
Following the session, I would always feel super light on my feet, but the feeling was short lasting.
After a good number of sessions, I decided I had no lasting benefit and stopped going.
When it comes to musculoskeletal problems, I don’t think there is one practitioner that can cure everyone. He just wasn’t the person to solve my issue.
The sessions aren’t inexpensive at 240 1^st time, 200 follow ups. A bit surprised at the prompt for a tip on top of that.

I went to see Master Suzuki after I was diagnosed with a herniated L4-​L5 disc and had significant numbness around my left shin. One neurosurgeon had already recommended surgery and given that the numbness hadn’t subsided for close to 4 weeks, I thought I had no choice. Master Suzuki did a thorough evaluation on my first visit. He determined exactly where my spinal alignment issues were and explained his conclusions very clearly to me. After that his assistant, Tomoko, did a fantastic Shiatsu style massage on me to get my muscles ready for Master Suzuki’s techniques. Master Suzuki worked very hard on me using methods I had never seen before. When I walked out of his office, I already felt like my blood circulation was a thousand times better– I literally felt like blood was gushing through me, especially in my legs. It felt great! The first thing the next morning, I checked my left shin, as I had done every morning for the last few weeks. Amazingly, the numbness was much better! Noticeably better. I was supposed to see Master Suzuki in one week. My numbness was completely gone even before I saw him the second time. I have seen Master Suzuki and Tomoko four times now and I am completely back to my normal active routine of crossfit 5 – 6 days a week and golf as often as I can which is an amazing statement considering I was looking at a summer of recuperating from back surgery!

Simply life changing. I’ve tried everything for my chronic hip and back issues over the last 15 years. Chiro, Cranial Sacral, Rolfing, Deep Tissue, etc… Nothing worked. After just two sessions, my hips and back felt as good as they did in college. I can work out again… I don’t have to roll out of bed wondering if I’m going to have a «bad day»… Even walking up stairs is easier. I’ve even lost weight because my digestive system is working better! Master Suzuki is amazing. More people should learn how to do this…

A miracle worker. I’m not sure how he knows where the pain is, but he does. His techniques have to be seen (or felt) to be believed, but he sorts your back out. I’ve been to him twice now with lower back problems and he’s been able to put me back into shape.

What a find! Serious lower back issues for years and no one could help me. This man is a healer in the truest sense of the word. HIs techniques are other worldly. I am a new man thanks to him! It’s like getting a new lease on life. What a blessing. Thank you Mr Suzuki! I will send everyone that I love to you!

I’m going to make this short and sweet, if you’re hurting here’s where you should go. He was recommended, I was in pain and I called immediately. Doesn’t take insurance but in 3 – 4 sessions you’re a new person. I came to Mr Suzuki barely able to walk and after 4 sessions and following the exercises he gave me (15min), the overall health of my spine is now optimal. Doin deserves 5 stars. I can’t believe it!

Mr. Suzuki is a miracle worker. I have had chronic back pain for the past 2 years and was considering surgery for a herniated disc and degenerative disc disease. After one visit with Mr. Suzuki my pain is almost completely gone. For the first time in 2 years I feel like I am getting my life back. Anyone with back pain should go see him immediately. I saw multiple physical therapists and chiropractors that were not able to help me.

The practitioner is incredibly knowledgeable, I had all sorts of back pain, lower back pain, pain across my shoulder blades, and after my first session I remember standing up and feeling my feet perfectly even on the floor, a sensation I hadn’t had since I can remember. The deep feeling of alignment throughout my pelvis and spine relieved all my muscle tension and I felt even a little taller. I had a feeling of «this is it» as in, this got to the root of the problem. I’ve recommended this place to friends, and they’ve had the same experience. Totally worth the investment.

I had a severe case of muscle spasms running from a hip joint down to ankle and up to the back. Often walking on the street I felt like crying for the pain, or actually had to take a cab back home. I went to massage therapies, but having a strong massage only made me feel slightly better for a week or two. I explained to the massage therapists that I had a sensation as if the hip joint were misaligned, but they assured me that it was a common muscle knot around the hip joint. It continued for 6 months until I couldn’t bear the discomfort and pain any more.
I have a friend who suffered from similar condition in the past. I remembered her mentioning that she became well with chiropractic treatment. My own experiences with chiropractors were either unsatisfactory or unpleasant. Therefore I decided to try Doin Seitai Center, knowing that Seitai was a radical version of chiropractics.
The skilled practitioner Mr. Suzuki spoke of my condition as he examined my joints and posture, especially the way I sit with pelvic bone twisted to a side. In the past I went to an Alexander Technique practitioner, and the posture-​pain relationship came back to my mind.
He first had one of his assistants work on the back muscles. They were trained by him and had strong hands for medical quality Shiatsu massage. Mr. Suzuki agreed that my hip joint was not in the right place, so he adjusted it by twisting my joints as well as using the special tools. It was quick, but very painful. But after the pain by impact subsided, I felt the spasms were reduced to a mere discomfort. That was the first treatment.
The hip muscle spasms came back after a few days, but I already had the second appointment a week later by Mr. Suzuki’s recommendation, so it was expected. Similar treatment was done. This time around, I paid more attention to what he said and how he shifted my hips. I also had a bad neck pain, so I made another appointment to fix the problem. It was scary to have my neck manhandled, but at this point I decided to trust his expertise. I knew that trying to resist the force might cause injury, so I tried to relax my neck as he straightened it. It was, simply put, very painful. However, since then I don’t have to crack my neck.
So that was it. I am living a healthy, painless life now after 3 visits to Doin Seitai Center. To be honest, however, it was a combination of the treatments and my own efforts. As I mentioned, I paid attention to what Mr. Suzuki told me about my posture, and every time I started feeling slightest of pain or discomfort, I straightened my body while feeling hip bones with my hands. Once I found a position that reduced pain and discomfort, I remembered the posture, which was, without surprise, straight and symmetric. It took 4 weeks after the last treatment for me to go to bed without needing ibuprofen and woke up without any discomfort. Although I don’t have the muscle spasms or back pain any more, I know that I am only in remission. I have to continue to be careful with my posture even in my sleep.
For those of you who cannot tolerate painful procedures and have no reason to suspect misalignment of joints, I recommend Alexander Technique. It will teach you how to adjust your posture to stop pain, as I learned (to avoid painful procedure) from Mr. Suzuki.

Master Suzuki’s international clientele all would attest to the remarkable healing capability he delivers in even one visit. He is also an effective teacher with many successful students now professionals in their own right…
Over the years I have witnessed many miracles happen in his clinic for patients who had back pain, walking issues and lack of muscular movement regain their health and side-​step un-​needed surgery.

Thank you so much, Mr. Suzuki!!!
I no longer suffer from the stiffness in my neck and shoulder and feel rejuvenated. I didn’t realize that my posture was the primary cause of the problem. So glad you straighten my backbone. From now on, I will always beware of my posture while sitting.
Thank to the treatment on the shoulder, the lump has disappeared. I really feel great both physically and mentally:-)
Beside the treatment, I gained many useful knowledge about self-​healing. Thank you so much! And, talk to you soon since I will send you my friends with the same problem! From Mak.
