Problem
Changes in stamina with age, past injuries, chronic conditions. Many people notice these concerns but leave them unaddressed, unsure of where to turn.
At ZEN PHYSIO STRETCH, a physical therapist assesses your body and designs stretching and exercise that fit you individually.
Select a concern below to see an example of our approach.
Our Goal
Our goal is not lifting heavy weights or pushing through hard training. Walking, standing, climbing stairs, going on a trip — we focus on building a body that lets you keep these everyday movements going, on your own terms.
In hospitals, many people only begin caring for their body after pain or injury has already occurred. What truly matters, however, is understanding your body's condition and keeping it in order before problems grow.
At ZEN PHYSIO STRETCH, we draw on the assessment expertise developed as a physical therapist to check your posture, joint movement, flexibility, and lifestyle habits.
Rather than simply stretching muscles, we suggest stretching and self-care suited to your body and your goals.
Message
Working as a physical therapist in hospitals, clinics, and home-visit care, I have spent years face to face with people's bodies — and one thought has stayed with me throughout.
Physical decline rarely begins overnight. Changes in gait and posture, gradually declining strength, stiffness, the lingering effects of old injuries — small changes accumulate until, one day, they surface as real pain or difficulty in daily life.
In Japan, however, most people only meet a physical therapist after illness or injury. I wanted to create a place where people can understand their body earlier, and receive the care and exercise they need before problems grow. That is how ZEN PHYSIO STRETCH was born.
Our aim is not simply to stretch muscles, nor to push your body through hard training.
Walking. Standing up. Climbing stairs. Traveling. Enjoying your hobbies. As specialists of the body, we are here to help you keep living the everyday life you treasure, on your own terms.

Services
Start by understanding your body today
We begin by asking about your concerns, lifestyle, exercise history, and any precautions from your doctor. We then assess your posture, movement, joint range of motion, and muscle condition, let you try some light exercise, and explain your current condition and our recommended plan.
Learn moreFully one-on-one sessions at our gym
At our gym in Bashamichi, Yokohama, we combine stretching and exercise while checking how you move, your strength, and your balance. Sessions are not fixed routines — the content is adjusted to how your body feels that day.
Learn moreWe come to your home or a location you choose
A physical therapist visits your home or another location of your choice. This service suits those who find it difficult to go out, prefer a familiar environment, or would like family members to sit in.
Learn moreWhy ZEN PHYSIO STRETCH
We check your posture, joint mobility, muscle strength, and gait before deciding what your body needs now. If self-taught exercise has ever left you in pain, we start with a careful assessment.
We ask about past injuries, current conditions, medical care, and your exercise history, and adjust the intensity and content so you can proceed without strain.
Rather than giving everyone the same menu, we adjust the stretching and exercise each time to match how your body feels that day and what you want to achieve.
The same physical therapist works with you at every session, so we can track changes in your body and support you with full continuity.
In addition to our appointment-only gym in Bashamichi, Yokohama, we offer home visits for those who find it difficult to go out or prefer sessions at home.
We explain your body's condition and our plan in plain language, avoiding unnecessary jargon. We are also happy to explain things to your family.
Sessions and explanations are available in English. Family members living abroad and international clients can use our service with confidence.
Initial Conditioning Evaluation
Service differences can be hard to grasp from an explanation alone. In the Initial Conditioning Assessment, we check your body's current condition, let you try some light exercise, and explain our recommended plan going forward.
Book an initial consultation & trialDuration
We reserve ample time for the assessment and explanation. We will give you a detailed estimate at your initial consultation.
Fee
Fees vary by service, location, and preferred frequency. We will give you individual guidance at the initial consultation after learning about your condition and goals.

Profile
沼澤 拓也
Licensed Physical Therapist
Drawing on the body-assessment knowledge developed as a physical therapist and on years of coaching experience, we suggest methods you can continue without strain, with attention to scientific evidence. Our goal is to help everyday people reduce their anxiety about pain and discomfort, and build bodies that let them live daily life on their own terms.
For Family
Many inquiries come from family members on behalf of a loved one — "I want my parents to stay active without strain," or "Going out is difficult, so I'd like sessions at home." Together, we will find an approach that works comfortably for both you and your family.

Impressions of the stretching and body care we tailor to each client's condition.
I came in anxious about numbness from my shoulder to my fingertips and pain in my lower back. My condition was checked carefully, and the session was gentle and relaxing, with no pain. I feel I can trust them with my body's care.
Client A
They explained the causes of my stiffness and discomfort in a way that was easy to understand. They check my condition on the day and never push too hard, so even someone like me who dislikes strong, painful treatment could relax.
Client B
They teach me about my body in detail, from daily care routines to what to do when injured. With their deep knowledge as a physical therapist, I discovered things about my body I would never have noticed on my own.
Client C
I was able to receive care in a calm setting without worrying about people around me. Everything was tailored to my condition and clearly explained. I think it suits people who want to properly maintain their body, not just push through workouts.
