A judo therapist (bone-setter), also known as a Japanese specialist in bone and muscle injuries, provides non-surgical treatment for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including fractures, dislocations, contusions, sprains, and muscle strains. Originating from judo, the therapy involves techniques aimed at restoring function to bones, muscles, and joints.
The history of judo therapy dates back over a millennium, but formal training and schools for judo therapists began in 1951, with the establishment of licensing policies. In 1970, the Judo Therapist Act was enacted, transitioning to a national examination system. Judo therapists hold the only national qualification in Japan for treating injuries, aside from physicians.
To become a licensed judo therapist, individuals must complete training at designated schools for three years or obtain specific qualifications. Some pursue a four-year degree at designated universities. Coursework covers various subjects, including judo therapy theory, anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and orthopedics.
Following licensure, judo therapists undergo practical training to gain clinical experience, often at orthopedic clinics or rehabilitation centers. Additionally, they may receive certification as functional training instructors under the long-term care insurance system, contributing to elderly care and rehabilitation.
Many Judo therapists open private bone-setting clinics. To establish their own clinic, judo therapists must acquire over three years of practical experience at a hospital, orthopedic clinic, or bone-setting clinic following the attainment of their license.
The role of judo therapists extends beyond injury treatment to include prevention and maintenance of physical health. They offer exercise programs and advice to athletes and the general population to prevent injuries and enhance performance. Moreover, judo therapists collaborate with other healthcare professionals to develop comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation plans for patients.
Lastly, judo therapy is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a form of traditional medicine. Judo therapists are integral to international healthcare delivery, playing a vital role in providing holistic care.
