"Kenichi has been a game-changer for me. His bodywork has helped me identify and address problem areas I didn’t even realize needed attention while also improving preexisting issues. Thanks to his expertise, I’m able to move worry-free, which has made a huge difference in both my training and daily life."

-Will Collins, Personal Trainer

"As a life time martial artist and personal trainer, I have had many tweaks and injuries throughout my life. After meeting Kenichi and having body work done by him, my ranges of motion and movement have increased especially because of the grueling demand I put upon myself. Through his personal knowledge of understanding the body, he has helped me and other people I have sent to him. Amazing bodywork specialist"

-Antoine Gomez, Personal Trainer/Martial Arts Expert and Coach

I can't say enough good things about Kenichi and his practice. Being a competitive bodybuilder I have run into a number of injuries and joint issues. Many of which I have dealt with for multiple years, and thought I would forever. Kenichi has helped me work through these injuries and problems remarkable quickly as well as given me many new perspectives on my training and how my body functions. Not to mention the guys a real gentleman. If you have any problems with your joints, muscles, or movements, give him a visit. You won't regret it.

"As a violinist who has suffered from chronic pain for nearly a decade after an injury, seeing Kenichi at Kiyama Bodyworks has been life-changing. I had sought help from numerous health practitioners, including acupuncturists, chiropractors, and physical therapists. While I initially responded to treatment, the effects always wore off after a few months. I was close to giving up hope, accepting that I might never play the violin professionally—or without pain—again, until I met Kenichi and discovered Sotai.

Though my healing journey has had its ups and downs, I’ve experienced far greater improvement with Kenichi’s Sotai treatment than with any other therapy. His background as a violinist is an added bonus, as his personal experience allows us to work together to identify flaws and make improvements in my playing.

I am deeply grateful for Kenichi’s expertise, empathy, and dedication. His Sotai treatment, combined with his positive demeanor and vast knowledge of the human body, has made a significant difference in my healing process. Thanks to his care, I have experienced lasting improvements that no other therapy has provided, greatly enhancing my quality of life. I highly recommend Kenichi at Kiyama Bodyworks to anyone seeking effective, compassionate care through Sotai treatment."

Kenichi, through his Sotai practice, has a unique knowledge of how muscles, tendons, and bones work together and he is deeply interested in finding a solution for your ailment. I limped into my first appointment with an Achilles issue and walked out of it feeling much better. In two weeks my Achilles was good as new! I highly recommend him!
