New Facility 'GPR' Integrating Acupuncture, Training, and Pilates Grand Opens in Ueda City, Nagano on May 18, 2026

Nomu-Hybrid Co., Ltd. (Location: Ueda City, Nagano; CEO: Takumi Ito), part of the Nomuraya Group, held the grand opening of its Pilates and training facility with an attached treatment clinic, 'GPR | General Preventive Restoration,' on Monday, May 18, 2026. This facility operates under the concept of 'from bedside to performance up,' providing support not just for pain and discomfort but also for achieving a 'better body' beyond that. It caters to a wide range of individuals, from juniors to seniors, and from the general public to competitive athletes, offering services on a completely reservation-based, one-on-one basis. The meaning behind 'GPR | General Preventive Restoration': The facility name 'GPR' is composed of the following three words: General: To perceive the body not just in parts, but holistically and as a whole person. Preventive: To prevent issues before discomfort or injuries occur. Restoration: Not just to recover and repair, but to aim for an even better state than before. There are areas that cannot be reached by treatment or exercise alone. We wanted to create an environment that could consistently support individuals not just through pain relief, but also in their subsequent daily life, sports, and performance improvement. This desire led to the establishment of GPR. An integrated treatment clinic and Pilates/training facility where you can receive both treatment and exercise simultaneously. A key feature of GPR is that it has both treatment and training booths, offering acupuncture, training, and Pilates in an integrated manner. The facility has two treatment booths and provides sessions tailored to each individual's physical condition and goals on a completely reservation-based, one-on-one basis. The treatment menu is based on acupuncture and takes a multi-faceted approach to discomfort and injuries, combining techniques such as 3D dynamic wave therapy, ultrasound therapy, myofascial release, manual therapy, and taping. Furthermore, an ultrasound observation device (echo) has been introduced. While it is not used for medical diagnosis, it serves as a tool for conditioning and treatment decisions by checking the internal state of the body. In training, the emphasis is not just on using weights, but on 'first moving one's own body correctly.' It aims to improve body control and basic functions by incorporating posture and functional improvement exercises, Pilates, and athletic rehabilitation. While it is common for facilities to offer 'treatment only' or 'training only,' a major feature of GPR is that both can be done simultaneously. Comprehensive support from pain relief to performance enhancement. We provide support from both treatment and exercise perspectives for issues such as 'chronic lower back or shoulder pain,' 'pain that doesn't improve with treatment,' and 'wanting to exercise but having physical concerns.' We also cater to performance enhancement for competitive athletes, creating an environment that can be used by a wide range of people, from juniors to seniors. A facility that cares for the community with the spirit of GPR - Interview with acupuncturist and trainer Takumi Ito. We spoke with Takumi Ito, who actually provides treatments and training support at GPR, about his commitment to the facility and his thoughts for the users. - Why did you choose this location? As you can see when you visit, it's a very quiet and calm environment. There is also a parking lot, making it easily accessible by car. I particularly like the view of the Ueda mountains from the facility. As I myself enjoy mountain sports, I wanted to create a place where people can approach treatment and exercise with a relaxed feeling. - What kind of place do you aim for GPR to be? First, I want the people of our local Ueda City to know that 'a facility like this has been built' and for it to become a place loved by the community. On the other hand, since there are still not many facilities that offer integrated treatment and exercise, I hope that in the future, people from far away will discover us and think, 'I want to go to Ueda to come here.' - Finally, do you have a message for those considering using the facility? As the saying goes, 'The patient is the best teacher.' I value listening to people's voices, facing them, and staying by their side to build a story together. I aim to create a place that can accept anyone, regardless of age or gender, and contribute to a wide range of support and foundation-building, from developmental ages to general athletes.
