Clínica de Yoshi is not a massage parlour. seitai (整体) —a Japanese manual therapy combining the wisdom of ancient jujutsu with principles similar to Western chiropractic, working the body as a whole to restore its overall balance— combined with shiatsu (指圧) —perpendicular pressure on the meridians to work on the deep nervous system—. Both are Japanese techniques, and their combination is the hallmark of Clínica de Yoshi. 26 years of clinical practice: 7 in Japan and over 20 in Madrid.

Yoshi is also the author of Historia de una desesperación y el milagro que lo cambió todo (Amazon Kindle, 2026), where he recounts how his experience at his own clinic transformed his understanding of body and mind.
Body and mind
One of the main factors that overburdens our body is stress.
When habitual poor posture combines with psychological stress, the body tenses without us noticing and loses its natural balance.
In a day or a week, you might not notice much difference.
But if that state continues for years or decades, the load on the body accumulates little by little.
And by the time you notice, it has already manifested as chronic pain or persistent discomfort.
The key is not to act once symptoms appear, but to notice changes in the body beforehand and avoid letting tension build up.
How small everyday burdens can trigger physical discomfort:
that "chain of deterioration" is illustrated in the diagram below.
The chain of deterioration — Flow diagram
These two major factors — habitual poor posture and psychological stress — create unbalanced tension in the fascia, causing pain not only in the joints (shoulders, knees...) but also in the internal organs.
Can muscle tension really limit normal body function? Many specialists believe so. Ignored tension is the root cause that deteriorates the body. That's why it's essential to address it consciously and early.
The tent analogy — How body balance works
In balance
Bones (pole) and muscles (ropes and canvas) in even tension. The body is stable and the organs function normally.
Muscles under excessive tension
If the fabric is too tight, the whole structure tilts. Blood vessels and nerves become compressed, circulation worsens and pain appears.
After seitai & shiatsu adjustment
Tension is redistributed and the body regains stability. Pressure on the organs is released, and circulation and function are restored.
If we compare the human body to a tent: the bones are the central pole and the muscles are the ropes and fabric. If the fabric is too tight or too loose, the tent loses its balance and tends to collapse. The body works the same way — when balance breaks down, tension and circulatory decline progress gradually.
Before the pain appears, not after.
Even after having your pain or symptoms treated by a doctor, it's important to work on your body to avoid the same issues returning. Looking after your muscles and fascia, maintaining flexibility and physical balance — these are the foundations of a healthy body.
Our body naturally has the ability to restore its own balance. However, chronic tension built up over years of poor posture habits or stress cannot always be resolved by the body's natural response alone.
That's why it's essential to notice changes in the body before pain or symptoms appear, and to act with care from the start.
That is the essence of the care that Clínica de Yoshi believes in.

"I'd had lower back pain for 10 years and after three sessions it's almost gone. Yoshi's treatment doesn't hurt — quite the opposite, it's very pleasant. I'll definitely be back."

"The anxiety and physical tension disappeared at the same time. I cried when the session ended. I truly felt the connection between body and mind."

For those who need quick relief from a specific pain.
Treatment focused on the area of greatest tension or discomfort. Quick response to acute symptoms: tightness, muscle knots, localised pain that needs urgent attention.
Due to the limited duration, this does not include a full body assessment or complete structural work. For chronic pain or lasting improvement, we recommend sessions of 60 min or more.
The most recommended session. Especially for first-time visitors.
From head to toe, we assess and balance the complete structure, muscle tension and nervous system. Not just where it hurts — but everything that contributes to the pain.
Neck pain, lower back pain, fatigue, chronic poor posture, accumulated imbalance. This is not simple relaxation — it's restoring the body to its natural state.
For those seeking a real change in their body.
Yoshi assesses each area of the body in detail: pain, mobility, muscle and nerve response. Based on that "reading", he combines the necessary techniques in the moment.
◎ If you prefer to leave everything in Yoshi's hands, this is your option.
Treatment examples
For chronic pain, multiple symptoms, persistent discomfort, recurring pain. The treatment chosen by those who have tried everything else.

※ Dai's exclusive session.
A deep care session combining aromatherapy massage with seitai and shiatsu.
First, the aromatherapy massage loosens the surface tension of the body. When the skin, muscles and senses are sufficiently open, we move to the deeper work with seitai and shiatsu. The oil's scent stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, facilitating a deeper release of the body.
The content is similar to the Yoshi Personal Session, but with greater emphasis on a full-body approach with aromatic oil. Especially for those seeking sensory richness and deep relaxation.
Recommended for
A fully tailored session that works on physical release and mental transformation simultaneously.
First part — 60 min: Deep relaxation massage that dissolves physical tension from the root. When body and mind reach a state of genuine openness, the second part begins.
Second part — 30 min: Individual session with personalised coaching tools. A fresh perspective on yourself and your current challenges. Not to think differently — but to feel it differently.
For those who don't just want to feel better today, but to take a genuine step towards who they want to become.
Performance care for executives — concentration and judgement at their peak.
We combine seitai and shiatsu to balance physical and nervous system tension, bringing the body to a state of deep reset. Ideal for intense schedules, long working hours or travel fatigue.

Lead therapist
Yoshi Nakai
"I love giving shiatsu."
The moment a patient tells me "I feel lighter", "the tension is gone", "that was wonderful" — that's what motivates me the most. It's the reason I've been practising for 26 years.
Yoshi studied Sports Medicine at Waseda University. From his student days he showed a deep passion for sports science, body movement and anatomy. After graduating, he attended the anatomy seminar at the University of Pittsburgh (USA), where he studied in depth the structures that support human movement: muscles, fascia, tendons and joints. He then deepened his knowledge of oriental medicine in Beijing, accumulated 7 years of clinical experience in Japan, and in 2006 moved to Madrid to open Clínica de Yoshi.
Many people suffer from muscle tension and pain due to poor posture or prolonged stress. And the mind works the same way — trapped in obligations and pressure, the body also locks up. When the body is released through shiatsu, the person recovers the feeling of "this is how I used to feel". Witnessing that moment of transformation is the most rewarding part of this work.
As a therapist with official Japanese certification, Yoshi is also skilled in reflexology and auriculotherapy. In addition, as a kinesio taping pioneer in Spain, he obtained his official certification in Japan. This technique is applied in the care of athletes and general patients alike.

"With joy, towards a healthier life."
I am a therapist specialised in seitai shiatsu and a member of Clínica de Yoshi. It's a genuine honour to be part of Yoshi's team. Thanks to my years as a footballer, I know better than anyone how important it is to take care of your body. I'll do everything I can to help you live with health and a smile.
Ten years ago, Dai came to Spain from Japan chasing his dream of becoming a professional footballer. He suffered an injury along the way, and it was a teammate who recommended visiting Clínica de Yoshi. The effect of Yoshi's treatment impressed him deeply, and he began to explore the world of shiatsu alongside football.
From 2018 he began formal training in shiatsu and seitai under Yoshi's guidance. In 2019 he travelled to Tokyo for a year of intensive training at a specialist institution. Since 2020 he has worked as an official therapist at Clínica de Yoshi. Thanks to his years as a footballer, he specialises in the care of legs, knees, calves and reflex zones of the feet. His strength is the athlete's perspective applied to treatment.
