■ What is brascia®?
brascia® (trademark registration No. 6920621) is a neuro-somatic clinical model that evaluates and updates state adaptability based on the cycle of sensory input, central integration, and motor output. It is Emaps Inc.'s unique method that integrates the Brain and Fascia, designed as a clinical framework for evaluating and updating the interaction between the nervous system and body structure.
brascia® integrates the latest knowledge from Polyvagal Theory (Stephen Porges), Fascia Research, Interoception Research (A.D. Craig), and HPA Axis Research, implementing world-class existing paradigms as a reproducible clinical algorithm.

■ About Relief Port Femina Acupuncture & Osteopathic Clinic – A Specialized Clinic in the Interoceptive Regulation Domain in Fukuoka's Ohori Koen Area
Relief Port Femina is an acupuncture and osteopathic clinic for women by female acupuncturists, located in Otemon, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City (3 minutes walk from Ohori Koen Station). It specializes in the "interoceptive regulation domain" among the clinical application areas of brascia®. The interoceptive regulation domain is a clinical area specialized in conditions related to hormonal fluctuations and autonomic nervous system imbalances, such as menopause, PMS, and insomnia.
Femina's treatments have three unique designs not found in typical osteopathic clinics in Fukuoka City.
Femina's Unique Treatment Designs
Content
① Treatment timing design considering the menstrual cycle
Treatment content and timing are adjusted according to phases where hormone balance fluctuates, such as menstruation, ovulation, and luteal phase. It is designed to allow for a calmer next cycle.
② Single-axis focused treatment design each time
Intervention focuses on the single most prioritized axis, either autonomic nervous system or musculoskeletal, depending on the day's condition. The sequence and depth are designed for changes to become stable.
③ Visualization of changes through both subjective and objective axes
Patients' sensations (subjective) and examination values (objective) are recorded over time. This provides a mechanism to confirm changes numerically, rather than just "feeling like it got better."
Treatments focus on Axis ③ (limbic system, hypothalamus) and Axis ④ (insular cortex, interoceptive sensation) in the brascia® 4-axis model, with attention to the HPA axis and hormone regulation. Together with "Relief Port Osteopathic Clinic" (chronic head conditions) and "Teatsui Osteopathic Clinic" (musculoskeletal function management), also operated by Emaps Inc., brascia® is being expanded in the region under a three-brand system.

■ Background of the Event – Why does "stretching not last"?
"Even if I stretch, it's back to normal the next morning" – many people who have experienced this repeatedly visit our clinic in the Fukuoka Ohori Koen area. There is a clear reason for this phenomenon.
Research shows that the true nature of muscle stiffness is not muscle contraction, but structural changes in fascia and connective tissue (Zhao et al., 2026). In tissues with sustained muscle tension, collagen increases, the binding between fibers becomes denser, and the fascia thickens. This state is no longer "tissue that stretches when pulled." Even if the length temporarily changes with stretching, the material itself does not change.
