ONE DE MAYU Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka; Representative: Mayu Kajiwara) has officially begun providing 'Experiential Wellness' in April 2026, a program designed to support corporate health management. Based on the firm's track record of treating over 10,000 individuals over 14 years, this program was born from field experience. Columns contributed to 'Woman's Lab,' a specialized media for women's healthcare, ranked #1 in their category, and searches for 'foot reflexology' on Google News also ranked #1, proving high interest in health care through the feet. Through trial runs at offices of major construction firms, it was proven that a 15-minute 'experience' significantly changes employee awareness even in the routine office environment.
Why Employees Don't Change Despite Health Initiatives:
Many HR managers complain that employees don't change despite efforts. Seminars have low participation, and medical results don't lead to action. The root cause may be that employees aren't aware of their own physical state. Experience has shown that information doesn't lead to action for those who haven't noticed their ailments. Only by seeing and feeling changes in their own bodies do people feel motivated to take care of themselves.
A significant issue is female-specific health challenges. Annual labor loss due to menstrual symptoms in Japan is approximately 482.8 billion yen. These issues are often hidden from workplace data as women suffer in silence. Existing health management measures often fail to reach these challenges.
What is 'Experiential Wellness'?
It is an on-site wellness program based on 5,000 years of Oriental medical wisdom. Unlike Western medicine which focuses on data and symptoms, Oriental medicine treats the individual. The feet are seen as a microcosm of the whole body; changes in color, shape, texture, and temperature reveal ailments the individual may not have noticed. No special equipment is needed—just one chair and 15 minutes per person. This shock and awareness become the first step toward self-care.
Three Approaches Based on Corporate Challenges:
1. Personal Reset (Individual treatment): Deciphers physical condition and improves circulation in 15 minutes per person.
2. Self-Care Literacy (Workshop): A hands-on group lesson to learn skills for sensing and fixing one's own ailments through the feet.
3. Inside Wellness (Lecture): A program to change health management from the inside out, customized to the company's needs (e.g., 'Reading signs from the feet,' 'Gut health for working bodies').
