Physical therapist/physiotherapist experiences in Japan?

My boyfriend has a herniated disk and has been really struggling with the pain and emotional stress. The regular doctor just sent him home with some pain medication, but it's not really doing it. Have you had any experiences with PT's or physiotherapists in Japan? Was it a good experience? Any recommendations for this condition?

    PT is not really common in Japan. When I was dealing with back pain it was hard to find a place that offers it. I went a few times but didn't see any improvement. All they did was some kind of really soft massage. Not sure how that compares to what they do in other countries as this was my first time but I later started going to a placed that offer massage and acupuncture, where they would a much stronger massage which turned out to be helpful. In general, I would recommend doing regular stretching on top of any therapy that he receives.

    My husband has been to Tokyo Physio but only for sports massage, not strict physiotherapy. Not much help if you are still in Gifu, I don't know what options they have out there, unfortunately!

Is there a limit on daily posts?

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of posts we can publish each day? The reason I ask is, yesterday I wrote more than 30 posts, but I realized last night that at least the last two I wrote, have disappeared. They definitely published, but then disappeared a few minutes later. One was about a Santa in Nagoya, the other about Santa in Tamadairanomori. There maybe more but those two are definitely missing.

Where do you visit Santa Claus?

Firstly, do you visit Santa Claus each year in Japan? And if so, where? I've been posting places you can meet Santa Claus in various parts of Japan on the blog section. If you are looking for somewhere to meet him this year, you'll find at least 25 places on City-cost.

Did you feel the December 8th earthquake?

There was a large earthquake off the coast of Aomori Prefecture at 11.15 pm on December 8th 2025. We are approximately 700 kilometers from the epicenter, yet we felt it very strongly. Did you feel it and how far away (roughly) are you from the epicenter?
