http://www.judo-ch.jp/english/seifukusi/seihuku/about_seihukujyutu/ wrote:Judo therapy is said to have its origins in the martial art of jujitsu. In jujitsu, there is "Sappo" in which an opponent is thrown down, and "Kappo" in which the pain inflicted on an opponent is treated. Many jujitsu masters cannot only defeat an opponent but also have mastered "Kappo," a technique to "bring life back into" an opponent who has been injured from grappling or throwing. It is said that "Kappo" evolved into today's judo therapy.
Judo therapy involves "hands-on treatments" in which hands are placed on an injury to comprehend the severity through sight and touch, and the patient's natural healing force is enhanced to guide the patient to a cure. However, the field of judo therapy did not develop smoothly.
In the Meiji Era, the society of samurai was dissolved, and the government promoted Western culture. A "Medical Law" was enacted, and bone setting techniques all but disappeared due to the abolishment of Oriental medicine.
At the end of the Meiji Era, the therapy was revived through the passion of the "Judo Bone-Setting Approval Committee" formed by jujitsu masters. In 1920, the therapy was approved by the government as "Judo Therapy" and the first qualification exam was held.
