💡The Unexpected Roles of Body Fat💡

Body fat supports more than metabolism.

It helps with:
• Temperature regulation
• Organ protection
• Tissue repair
• Immune response

Healthy adipose tissue contributes to systemic balance.Function matters more than quantity.

体脂肪には意外な役割があります。

・体温調整
・内臓の保護
・組織修復
・免疫応答

重要なのは体脂肪の「量」の増減ではなく、その “機能”なのです。

I’ve been taking my lunch breaks at Bryant Park for some time now, but I’m especially drawn to the park this month!

Myself, along with others who’ve been wooed by the silly antics of the American Woodcock, aka the Timberdoodle, have flocked to Bryant Park in the hopes of catching a glimpse of this dancing bird on their migration pit stop. And incredibly, in the middle of the city, there they were.

This tiny, oddly spherical, and very well camouflaged bird travels hundreds of miles, pausing briefly in places like NYC to rest and refuel before continuing on. It feels surreal that while we’re rushing through our day, they’re quietly passing through the same spaces with their own agenda.

Bryant Park is an important reminder that small pockets of greenery make immense positive impacts by creating safe spaces for the wonderful co-inhabitants of our planet - even here in the busiest parts of the city.

🤔Does Body Fat Influence Immunity?🤔

Did you know body fat is biologically active?
Adipose tissue is not just energy storage.

It releases signaling molecules (adipokines) that interact with the immune system.

Fat tissue participates in immune regulation and inflammation balance.

It’s more than padding.

🤔体脂肪と聞くと、どんなイメージがありますか？🤔
体脂肪はただの「エネルギーの貯蔵庫」ではありません。

脂肪組織はアディポカインというシグナル物質を分泌し、免疫と関わっています。

体脂肪は炎症や免疫調整に関与する“活動的な組織”です。
単なる体型を悪くする悪者、ではないのです。

最近有り難いことに患者様対応に終われ、受付で長時間座り続けているせいか、以前痛めた腰がまた気になり始め、フィオナ先生に診ていただきました。

穏やかな空間の中で、気づけば痛みのことも忘れてしまうほどリラックス、いつの間にか、軽く眠ってしまっていました。

施術後は、日常生活で気をつけるポイントも丁寧に教えていただき、改めて身体と向き合う大切さを実感しました。

無理を続ける前に、こういう時間って必要だなと改めて感じさせてくれた、フィオナ先生とのセッションでした。

Lately, I’ve been so grateful to be busy assisting our patients! 🤍

However, all those hours sitting at the reception desk started to trigger an old back injury... so I decided it was time to let Fiona work her magic. ✨
The atmosphere was so peaceful that I completely forgot about the pain and drifted off into a deep, relaxing sleep. 😴

After the session, Fiona shared some invaluable tips on how to care for my body during daily life. It was a gentle reminder of how important it is to listen to our bodies before we hit our limit. Taking this time for yourself isn't a luxury—it's a necessity.
If you’ve been pushing through discomfort like I was, maybe it’s time for a little "maintenance" too?

✋ Stuck with a patient who isn’t progressing? ✋

We’ve all been there: the evidence-based exercises are perfect, the joint mobilizations are spot on, but the patient has plateaued. The "missing link" might not be in the muscles or joints—it might be in the visceral fascia.

Our very own Dr. Miho Urisaka, PT, DPT, OCS, CSC I, is hosting an exclusive webinar for the APTA Hudson Valley District to dive deep into the "unseen" mechanical drivers of pain.

What you’ll learn:
✨ How hepatic ligaments can trigger right shoulder impingement.
✨ Why Sibson’s fascia is often the culprit behind chronic first-rib dysfunction.
✨ How to refine your tactile sensitivity to a "sub-micron" level.

At OMPT, we don't just follow protocols; we lead the conversation in integrated manual therapy. Dr. Miho spends her time mentoring the next generation of PTs, and this course is your chance to see that high-level clinical reasoning in action.

🗓 When: Wednesday, April 29, 2026 | 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
📍 Where: Zoom (Virtual Event)
🎓CEHs: 1.8 credits approved for PT/PTAs

Ready to level up your clinical skills? Registration is open until 4/28! Members and students—don't miss those special rates.

✨The solution is not force.
It is regulation.✨

Fascial Counterstrain addresses reflex-driven protective tension.

By calming hypersensitive tissue:
• Scar sensitivity decreases
• Fascial glide improves
• Secondary low back stress reduces

Sometimes the back is not the cause —
it is the victim.

✨解決方法は「強くほぐすこと」ではありません。体内の過敏な反射を整えることです。✨

Fascial Counterstrain は 神経反射レベルの防御緊張を見極め、鎮めます。

・瘢痕の過敏性低下
・筋膜滑走の改善
・腰への二次負担軽減

痛みや不調は原因ではなく、“結果”です。

体の深いつながりを理解し、総合的なケアがあなたの日々の健康を守るのです。

Last week, the OMPT team came together to celebrate Fiona’s birthday! 🎂

Although we were so focused on the surprise that we missed capturing the perfect shot, the warmth of the moment was truly special.

Fiona has been a vital part of our team for two years now. Many of her patients share how her treatments provide not only physical relief but a deep sense of emotional healing and relaxation. Whether it’s through her skilled hands or the beautiful flowers and herbs she brings from Upstate, she has a natural gift for soothing the hearts of everyone around her. 🌿

It’s fascinating to see how the same FCS (Fascial Counterstrain) foundations she shares with Dr. Urisaka can manifest so differently across practitioners. Fiona’s touch and her connection to the mind-body balance are truly her own.

Happy Birthday, Fiona! We are so grateful to have your healing energy and expertise at OMPT.✨

先週、OMPTメンバーでFiona先生の誕生日をお祝いしました！🎂 サプライズに夢中になりすぎて、当日のベストショットを撮り逃してしまうという準備不足もありましたが（笑）、愛の溢れる幸せな時間になりました。

Fiona先生が仲間になって2年。
多くの患者様から「心身ともにリラックスできる」と信頼を寄せられている彼女の治療は、技術はもちろん、彼女自身が持つ癒やしの力が大きく作用しています。

時折お裾分けしてくれるUpstateのお花やハーブも、私たちスタッフの心をいつも整えてくれます。🌿

瓜阪先生と同じFCS（フェイシャル・カウンターストレイン）を軸にしながらも、施術者によってそのアプローチや心身への響き方が異なるのは、この療法の非常に興味深いところです。Fiona先生ならではの繊細で温かなケアは、唯一無二のものです。

Fiona先生、あらためてお誕生日おめでとう！これからもその素敵な笑顔と技術で、多くの人を癒やしてくださいね。✨

🤔Deeper Connections: Can Scars Influence Organs?🤔

💡Yes — potentially.

Abdominal scars connect to deeper fascial layers and visceral support structures.

Persistent tension may influence:
• Organ mobility
• Pelvic pressure
• Autonomic tone

When pain “keeps returning,”
The scar may be part of the story.

🤔傷跡は内臓にも影響する？🤔

💡答えは「イエス」です。

腹部の傷は深部筋膜や内臓支持組織と連続しています。

持続的な緊張は
・内臓の可動性
・骨盤内圧
・自律神経
に影響することがあります。

このことから繰り返す痛みの背景に過去の傷跡が関与していることが考えられます。

🍊A scar is not only skin deep.🍊

Fascia connects skin, muscle, nerves, and pelvis as one tension network.

Abdominal scars may affect:
• Hip mobility
• Pelvic mechanics
• Lumbar loading

Symptoms often appear away from the scar.

🍊傷跡は皮膚だけの問題ではありません🍊

筋膜は皮膚・筋肉・神経・骨盤をひとつの張力ネットワークとしてつなぎます。

腹部の傷跡が
・股関節可動域
・骨盤バランス
・腰椎負担

に影響しているのです。

🤔Why Can a Scar Cause Pain? 🤔

Your C-section or surgical scar may be “healed.”
But is it truly neutral?

Scar tissue can alter fascial glide and maintain protective tension in nerves and vessels.

This may contribute to:
• Low back pain
• Hip tightness
• One-sided discomfort

A scar is not just history.
It can still influence your system.

🤔なぜ傷跡が痛みを起こすの？🤔

帝王切開や手術の傷跡。
時折痛む、傷は癒えたはずなのに不調が続くことはないですか？

傷跡は筋膜の滑走を変え、神経や血管の防御緊張を残すことがあります。

・腰痛
・股関節の違和感
・片側だけの張り

傷は過去だけのものではなく、現在の身体にも影響しているのです。
