🦳 Why Am I Struggling to Walk Like I Used To?

A Gentle Approach to Supporting Mobility and Balance at Any Age

If you—or someone you love—used to walk easily but now struggles with steps, posture, or pace, you’re not alone.

Many older adults notice a gradual change in mobility. You might feel unsteady on your feet, take shorter strides, or find it harder to bend your knees or lift your legs. But this doesn’t mean you have to give up your independence.

At Nagomi Wellness in Camberwell, we support clients of all ages with a gentle, body-friendly approach. And while Seitai Remedial Massage is suitable for everyone, it’s especially ideal for elderly people — because it requires no undressing, uses no force or oil, and there’s no need to worry about bruising or injury.

🧠 Mobility Is More Than Muscle — It’s Neurological

You might think stiffness or imbalance is just a “muscle” issue. But often, it’s your nervous system quietly trying to protect you.

When the brain senses instability or tension, it reduces movement for safety. You may slow your pace, avoid turning, or unconsciously stiffen your body. Over time, this leads to more restriction — and less confidence.

Seitai helps break that cycle — gently, without pushing or pulling.

🌿 What Makes Seitai Different?

Seitai Remedial Massage uses soft, reflex-based movements to encourage natural alignment and restore healthy body patterns. This therapy helps:

  • Reactivate your walking reflexes

  • Improve posture and joint mobility

  • Reduce stiffness without triggering pain

  • Calm the nervous system

  • Increase overall confidence and ease

There’s no need to undress, and we avoid oil or heavy pressure. You simply wear comfortable clothes and let your body guide the process.

👵 Who Benefits Most?

Seitai is for everyone — from office workers to athletes — but it’s particularly powerful for:

  • Older adults who feel stiff or unstable

  • People who want healing without intense pressure or deep tissue massage

  • Anyone recovering from surgery or illness

  • Those who are hesitant about traditional physiotherapy or exercise-based treatments

❤️ Healing Is a Process, Not a Quick Fix

At Nagomi Wellness, we don’t rush or force anything. We work with your body — not against it.

Healing takes time — and every body is different.

Some clients feel lighter or more mobile after just one session. Others may notice subtle changes at first, such as improved breathing, better posture, or a calmer mind. These small shifts matter. They mean your body is responding.

We generally recommend at least three sessions to start seeing more consistent, noticeable changes — especially for issues related to balance, posture, or long-term mobility.

No bruising. No oil. No stress. Just calm, guided movement and deep, meaningful care.
