Alternative Wellness: Put your health in the hands of a Hoshino therapist
A significant number of the people who come to us haven’t heard of the Hoshino massage style. Those who have heard of it, usually only know the extremely basic principles. To clarify, Hoshino is a unique, and results-based style of massage and acupressure that assists in the prevention and treatment of medical conditions. Fundamentally, it is preventative and encourages a proactive way-of-life. Hoshino combines the natural warmth radiating from the therapist’s hand, with the use of pressure-points that target stiffness, hardening of tissue, and sources to physical dysfunction, or misalignment.
The style originated in Japan under Tomezo Hoshino in the 1940s. It was used as a treatment for those with musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, and the reversal of hardening in the joints, connective tissue and muscles.
This homeopathic technique has greatly improved the lives of our clientele by relieving pain and promoting overall wellness. In our current day and age, there are far too many methods to treat pain that exist on a surface level. These same “quick fixes” often merely camouflage the issues, without doing the work needed to actually change outcomes. Although Hoshino has been found to produce incredible benefits, we do often encourage our clients to return for multiple sessions. We find our massage works best when it has the opportunity to regularly “tune-up the body. Repetitive maintenance is paramount for continued success, for general well being or to ski, bike, hike, golf, pickle-ball, etc. Given its preventative nature, we highly encourage those who play sports to try our services. Sports injuries in particular can be extremely jarring and hard on the body long-term. We recommend the an evaluation and initial treatment, to be able to see the validity of the work, plus continued treatments for up keep, and preventive measures. The approach is holistic and also compares to other sports massage in Vail. Naturally, we see a lot of winter sports athletes who are prone to injuries and general wear and tear over time. We offer an affordable and proven solution that brings you back to health and wellness.
Before relocating to the area, Mauricio Cadavid studied Hoshino in Miami, Florida at the acclaimed Hoshino Therapy Clinic. Starting in 1998, he studied under Bodhi and Dashi Kocica, the parents of his longtime friend who landed Mauricio the apprenticeship. After a decade of honing in the details to the technique, Mauricio moved to Colorado. A few early recipients of the work told him the Vail Valley area would be an ideal location to set up shop. Fortunately, they were correct!
From that moment on, he relocated to Vail, Colorado and has worked in the massage and chiropractic industry since. A rarity around the world, Mauricio is one of perhaps 8 people remaining in the world who practice Hoshino Therapy. Due to its exclusivity, finding a place to practice the craft is vitally important. Vail Valley was an optimal destination due to its world-class athletics. Indeed, the area is home to some of the country’s best recreation all year round. However, with world-class recreation comes the inevitable issues with the body.
Professor Hoshino pasted down the knowledge of how to perform the work correctly, and, with strict protocols, had a very high standard to uphold to become a full-fledged Hoshino Therapist.
Bodhi Kocica, and his wife Dashi, lived to these standards, and maintained the integrity needed to live up to Professor Hoshino’s accomplishments. For decades, the Kocica’s provided a highly respected, result-based testament to the effectiveness of Hoshino Therapy. To this day, Hoshino massage is incredibly rare and thus highly sought after. As a result of over 20 years of repeated results, Mauricio has continued in their esteemed path.
Starting with a five -year apprenticeship, under-going a very thorough and extensive training program, my teachers, The Kocica’s, and Professor Hoshino himself, established a very high-bar of excellence in treating a vast gamut of problems. For decades, Hoshino Therapy has been known to help with hip and knee injuries, sports injuries, back injuries, sciatica, headaches, arthritis, and more!
