■ Background of Project Launch: "10 Years of Regret" Carried in the Field
"I can still move, so I'm fine," "Daycare is too early, but the gym is too intimidating"—Representative Ochi, as a physical therapist, has witnessed countless elderly individuals for 10 years who missed appropriate exercise opportunities due to such overconfidence or environmental mismatches, leading to a narrowing of their daily lives.
To eliminate the regret of "if only I had started exercising sooner" felt in the field, "Reha Noah" was established in December 2025 as a "third place" where people can engage in specialized exercise, feeling like a gym, before becoming in need of long-term care.
However, while the importance of preventive medicine is advocated, there are high hurdles to getting operations on track due to systemic barriers and financial constraints. This project is the first step towards sustaining and expanding this facility as a community infrastructure, and in the future, tackling the macroscopic challenge of curbing national social security costs.
This facility distinguishes itself from traditional daycare services with the following features:
1.5-hour "Ultra-Short" Concentrated Model
It focuses solely on "exercise," omitting bathing, meals, and recreation. This allows for easy habituation within daily life rhythms without consuming half a day.
"Individualized Exercise Program" by Physical Therapists
National certified professionals assess each individual's physical condition and provide optimal, "higher-load" and "individualized" approaches that are difficult to achieve in group instruction.
"Transition of Evaluation" based on Objective Data (Proven Track Record)
Within just a few months of opening, a positive change of 152.9% was confirmed in users' balance ability index (FRT). This support, based on objective evidence, promotes self-reliance in the community.
① Transition of Balance Ability: A positive change of 152.9% was confirmed in FRT (Functional Reach Test), which indicates balance ability. ② Change in Walking Speed and Basic Muscle Strength: Improvement in walking speed and a positive change in grip strength, an indicator of overall muscle strength, were confirmed. [Details of Collected Data] Target Period: January 2026 - April 2026 Target Participants: 7 female users and 9 male users (ages: 58-89) who used the facility once or twice a week. Measurement Method: Comparison of average and median FRT measurements. *These figures are based on the achievements of our facility's users, and individual differences exist in changes due to exercise.
■ Improving Numbers is a "Means." The Goal is "Changes in Life and Lifestyle."
However, what we truly want to be proud of is not the numbers themselves, but the "changes in life" that lie beyond them.
"My grandchild was surprised and said, 'Grandma, you walk faster now.'"
"I had given up going out because I couldn't get on the bus steps, but now I can ride the bus and go out again."
"I lost weight and can wear my old pants again."
"I can easily do household chores like hanging laundry. I can squat!"
We receive many happy voices from our users every day. Our aim is not just to improve numbers, but to "maintain the current daily life" and "regain the daily life that had been given up on."
