Our Services

Remedial / Sports Therapy

A fully tailored clinical treatment combining remedial, sports, and restorative techniques — including deep tissue, active release, trigger point therapy, cupping, and heated Gua Sha as needed.
Each session is customized to your presentation on the day, supporting sports recovery, chronic pain relief, injury rehabilitation, and stress-related tension.

Please note: 30- and 45-minute sessions may not allow sufficient time for adjunct techniques such as cupping or heated Gua Sha.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to create gentle decompression across the muscles and fascia, releasing tension and improving circulation. Each session includes consultation, preparation, and personalized adjustment of pressure and duration to match your body’s needs. This evidence-based approach enhances recovery, supports lymphatic drainage, and promotes natural detoxification for both athletic and everyday performance.

Hot Gua Sha (Heated Fascial Release)

A modern approach to gua sha therapy, combining traditional muscle scraping with heat-assisted fascial release to ease stiffness, tension, and localized inflammation. Heated tools glide across the skin to enhance circulation, support tissue repair, and restore mobility in areas of chronic tightness.
Best suited for focused, local tissue work rather than large-area treatment.
Available from December 2025.

Medical Lymphatic Drainage

A restorative treatment centered on gentle manual lymphatic drainage, optionally supported by dry brushing, vibration, or red-light therapy tools to enhance circulation, reduce swelling, and restore fluid balance.
This clinical approach promotes detoxification, post-training recovery, and relief from jet-lag, inflammation, or desk-related heaviness — encouraging natural lymph flow and rejuvenation.

Clinical / Fitness Pilates (Private Session)

A personalized session integrating Clinical and Classical Pilates with detailed movement assessment to improve alignment, core control, and functional mobility.
Using the Legacy Pilates Apparatus, based on the original designs of Joseph Pilates, each session targets prehab, post-injury rehab, and long-term strength, stability, and movement resilience through precise, evidence-based practice.

Multi-Session Packages- Available by request

Multi-session packages are available for clients seeking consistent care and long-term results.

Packages are offered as 5-session or 10-session series for selected services and durations, including 45-, 60-, and 90-minute sessions.

Package options are discussed and arranged directly to ensure the most appropriate structure for your goals, schedule, and treatment plan.

Please enquire during your session or reach out directly for details.

Debbie S.

Former International Volleyball & Netball Representative, NZ and Mum of 4

I played international volleyball and representative netball for over 10 years I so have had plenty of massages in my time. Haru is one of the best I’ve ever had. You come off the table feeling amazing. My husband was a professional rugby player and now coach and he said the same thing. As a busy mum of 4 kids, my time is precious and it’s often hard to travel into town. Such a treat! Best of all, being a mum herself and she didn’t mind if my kids kept coming in and out during the session. I will miss her rubs when we return home to NZ. She is worth every yen! Treat yourself you won’t regret it

Foster Grffin

Pitcher, Yomiuri Giants 

As a baseball player, staying healthy and injury-free is critical to my performance. Since working with Haruno, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my recovery, mobility, and overall physical well-being. Her understanding of the body and targeted techniques have been essential to me having one of my best seasons thus far. 

Living in Japan, it’s also been a huge help that she speaks fluent English. Clear communication makes each session more effective and stress-free, especially as a foreign athlete.

I highly recommend Haruno to anyone serious about their health and performance.

Alando Soakai, Head Coach, Wellington Lions (Former Japan League One)

Haru has been our personal masseur & physiotherapist for the last 2 years. Not only she is knowledgeable around rehab / prehab exercises, her ability to know and feel what parts of the body needs attention is first class. Always goes beyond her workload to making sure her clients are satisfied with each session.

About

Haruno Yamazaki

Born in New York, Haruno is a Romana’s Pilates–trained instructor, certified at the original Pilates Studio at Drago’s Gym (New York City) — the historic home where Joseph Pilates’ classical method was preserved under Romana Kryzanowska.

Before transitioning into clinical movement and rehabilitation, she pursued a professional ballet career in New York, across the U.S., and Europe, performing in renowned venues including the Metropolitan Opera House. This foundation in dance informs her refined understanding of alignment, control, and body awareness.

Having lived and worked internationally in the U.S., Belgium, and Singapore, Haruno brings a native English-speaking and globally informed perspective to her practice.

Through Solaura, she provides Clinical Pilates, remedial therapy, and movement rehabilitation for those seeking precise, evidence-based care in Tokyo. Her work supports posture correction, injury prevention, and functional mobility, offering a bridge between physiotherapy and mindful movement.
Each session is tailored to restore balance, strength, and confidence — a distinct alternative to conventional studios or spas.
