What It Is

越後屋治療院 is a home-visit-only treatment clinic located in Itami, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Its core services are 訪問リハビリマッサージ and 訪問リハビリ鍼灸. It primarily serves elderly users with cerebrovascular disorders, aftereffects of cerebral infarction, body stiffness, and difficulty standing or walking, with the goal of helping patients regain basic daily movements such as sitting, standing, and walking.

Core Features

Services are provided at the patient’s home by practitioners holding Japan’s national qualification as あん摩マッサージ指圧師. Treatments include massage, acupuncture and moxibustion, joint range-of-motion training, sitting-balance training, manual correction for deformities, and walking training. The website emphasizes that a doctor’s consent form is required and that treatments are carried out under a doctor’s instructions. It also highlights collaboration with family members, doctors, care managers, and others, which is important in long-term care settings.

Pricing

Pricing information is disclosed in fairly good detail. Japanese health insurance and some medical subsidies can be used. In the example of massage for 5 body areas, the out-of-pocket cost is 455 yen for a 10% co-pay, 910 yen for a 20% co-pay, and 1365 yen for a 30% co-pay. If manual correction for deformities is added, the fee increases accordingly. Private-pay home visits cost 5000 yen for 30 minutes, including the travel fee within 2 km; beyond that, an additional 1000 yen is charged per kilometer. Payment is mainly monthly cash settlement, with bank transfer also available.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is its very clear positioning: it is well suited to elderly people who cannot visit a clinic and patients with aftereffects of cerebral infarction. Insurance coverage, a free trial, phone consultation, and a published fee table all help reduce the decision-making burden. The drawbacks are that the service is obviously location-dependent, mainly serving Itami and nearby areas. The website is also fairly traditional, lacking online booking, multilingual support, electronic payments, and detailed explanations of its rehabilitation assessment process.

Who It’s For

Suitable for local elderly people in Japan with limited mobility, patients with aftereffects of cerebral infarction, caregiving family members, senior housing operators, and care managers. It is not suitable for users looking for telemedicine, cross-region rehabilitation services, or Chinese-language support.

Access from China

This is a standard local Japanese WordPress business website, so in theory it should be directly accessible from mainland China. However, the service itself is offline, in-home medical/rehabilitation care, so actual use requires being physically located in Japan and being able to complete the doctor’s consent form, insurance, and Japanese-language communication processes.
