Synaptic Therapy

What is Synaptic Therapy?

The Aspirations of the Founder

I specialize in laser treatment, research, and development related to skin regeneration and nerve repair, which are otherwise impossible to treat naturally.

To treat facial paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia, and more, I have developed Synaptic Therapy (nerve therapy)—a purely manual technique—with the goal of relieving as many people as possible who suffer from pain or disabilities. Additionally, as a new therapeutic option beyond medication, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychotherapy, or radiotherapy, I will continue to engage in dialogue with medical specialists to advance Synaptic Therapy as an innovative form of "medicine × engineering." My aim is to develop new treatment and prevention methods.

Ultimately, my goal is to contribute to global health, including in developing countries and regions where medical care is insufficient, to eliminate physical and psychological suffering. To achieve this, I will bridge fundamental research and clinical practice.

Features of Synaptic Therapy

1. Regulating Nerves and Enhancing the Body's Self-Healing

AbilityExisting methods primarily focused on the parasympathetic nervous system, hoping to stimulate the body's self-healing power. However, Synaptic Therapy directly acts on both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, improving autonomic nervous system function and automatically enhancing the body's self-healing ability.

2. Technique That Anyone Can Learn

Previously, these techniques were acquired empirically, but Synaptic Therapy has structured the fine sensitivity of each technical step into a comprehensible language, making it accessible to everyone. Even non-practitioners can master this method.

Techniques of Synaptic Therapy

Fusion of Medicine and Engineering

Developed by a physician specializing in laser technology applications, skin regeneration, and nerve repair (in cases where natural healing is difficult), this method aims to provide a solution for all individuals suffering from physical or psychological pain, regardless of disparities in medical access.

Amplification of Strength

By layering two vectors (force, intensity, and direction), the result is not just an addition but a multiplication of force. Even a weak initial force can be multiplied dozens or hundreds of times through this amplification mechanism.

Future Prospects of Synaptic Therapy

1. Creating a New Culture

In the near future, when a family member is injured or experiences pain, it could become possible for the family itself to provide care. If a person is bedridden, it is often difficult to take them to a hospital, and home care is frequently requested. If a family member learns and practices Synaptic Therapy until the patient can walk again, they will be able to receive care at home, even if they cannot leave the house. This will allow people to continue walking and maintaining their health regardless of age.

In this context, beyond hospitals, families and local communities will actively participate in healthcare, fostering a culture of mutual care.

2. Conditions for Which the Therapy is Effective

In general, treating conditions like facial paralysis (which prevents smiling) or arm paralysis (which results in loss of mobility) is extremely difficult. In our initial congress presentations, we highlighted improvements in paralysis and paresthesia. There was no standardized treatment for these types of paralysis, but with Synaptic Therapy, more than 90% of patients showed improvement, distinguishing this approach from other therapies.

3. Future Fields of Application

Although still rare, there are cases showing improvement in hemiplegic patients after more than six months. Generally, after six months to a year, treatment prospects are considered minimal, but some cases have begun to show recovery. If this technique continues to be refined, individuals with hemiplegia or quadriplegia may regain movement according to their will. Furthermore, improving autonomic nervous system function may also help prevent dementia, a major global challenge in an aging society. This new approach holds great promise.

Founder Profile

Dr. Junichiro Kojou
(小城絢一朗)

Chairperson of the Institute for NeuroScience

Ph.D. from Keio University

Development of Laser Technologies:(Blue-ray, LASIK, laser treatment for pigment spots)

In 2008, he became a Global COE researcher and was appointed as the youngest project manager in a project involving JAXA and the Ministry of Defense of Japan.

In 2009, he presented his research at the joint MIT-Stanford International Symposium, where he received the Best Award.

In 2014, he became director of the regenerative medicine research laboratory.

In 2015, he launched a skin regeneration seminar, graduating over 1,000 participants.

In 2018, he received the Excellence Award for his research on dementia.

In 2021, he established a nerve repair method using manual therapy and a treatment for paralysis.

Currently, he travels across Japan to treat conditions recognized as difficult to cure using conventional medical techniques.
