Seitai
''Seitai'' (整体) is a form of bodywork and alternative medicine practice, originally developed as training tool within Health Education. It was developed in Japan by Haruchika Noguchi (1911–1976) in the mid-20th century. The ''kanji'' comprising the word are 整 ''sei'', regulated, coordinated, in order, and 体 ''tai'', "body, organism", therefore translated together as "the body in order". The term ''seitai'' already existed in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. In the 1920s it was adapted and introduced Japan by Michio Takahashi, a master of ''seitai-jutsu'', and later by Noguchi from 1943. Important to its development was a regular meeting group of experts in various fields of traditional Japanese medicine, led by Noguchi, called Dainippon Rengō Chiryō-shikai.Naoki, Yoshida (2014). 整体法の成り立ち (Origine de la méthode Seitai).
