Why IKKYU
Helping people understand the connections in their body.
Shige’s background spans human movement, fitness, sports therapy, health coaching and remedial massage. IKKYU was shaped around a simple idea: recurring discomfort deserves more than a generic routine focused only on the painful area.
Each appointment brings together conversation, observation, hands-on treatment and practical guidance. Working with one consistent therapist makes it easier to understand change over time and adapt the approach to the individual.
