How KAMI Japanese Body Therapy’s SEITAI Techniques Offer Holistic Wellness in Malaysia
Malaysia’s first Japanese-style body massage, “KAMI Japanese Body Therapy,” opened in May. SEITAI is a traditional Japanese body therapy technique that aims to improve physical discomfort and pain by restoring balance and harmony to the body. It combines chiropractic, physiotherapy, and massage benefits, with a focus on postural problems and their effects on the nervous system. SEITAI is customized to individual needs, allowing for the identification of root causes and a treatment plan.
KAMI’s proprietary technique, “NP Adjustment,” involves adjusting the neck and pelvis to correct body balance, allowing bodily fluids and nervous systems to flow smoothly again. The therapy also uses the thumb to stimulate induration, a common cause of poor health.
KAMI has two stores in Malaysia, offering a unique Japanese-style relaxing space based on greenery. They treat customers sincerity, care about their physical problems, and keep them informed about their bodies.
In May, we opened Malaysia’s first Japanese-style body massage, “KAMI Japanese Body Therapy.”
“KAMI” is a traditional Japanese body therapy salon, serving traditional Japanese “seitai” techniques.
Seitai is a Japanese body therapy technique. It seeks the fundamental improvement (“KAIZEN”) of the body and the maintenance of core health. SEITAI awakens the natural healing power of your body by conditioning your autonomic nervous system. SEITAI is a method that uniquely combines all the benefits of chiropractic, physiotherapy, and massage.
What is the difference between SEITAI and massage? SEITAI aims to improve physical discomfort and pain at a fundamental level, restoring balance and harmony to the body. Particular emphasis is placed on postural problems and their effects on the nervous system.The main objectives of massage are relaxation, relieving muscle tension, reducing stress, and promoting blood circulation. Massage generally focuses on relaxation and stress reduction. One advantage to receiving SEITAI is that it is generally customised to the individual needs of the patient. The root cause of the problem can be identified, and a treatment plan can be developed accordingly. Furthermore, SEITAI may promote improvement over multiple sessions rather than just a single treatment. Where physical problems have accumulated over a long period of time, ongoing treatment may be beneficial. Furthermore, for SEITAI, the neck is the most significant section of the body.Because nerves in the head transmit signals from the brain to the rest of the body via the spine, adjusting the neck can improve self-healing.
There are some characteristics of KAMI’s therapy.
KAMI’s style of therapy is “NP Adjustment, ” is KAMI’s proprietary technique. The neck is a very important part of your body, where venis, lymph glands, and nerves link the brain and the rest of your body. The pelvis is also very important for your body’s core, as it serves as a foundation.
When your neck and pelvis are not in their right places, the entire body’s balance is impaired, resulting in poor flow of the venis, lymph glands, nerves, and all types of symptoms.
NP adjustment is the technique of adjusting your neck and pelvis to correct the body’s balance, allowing your bodily fluids and nervous systems to flow smoothly again.
Moreover, we persist in using the thumb. A common cause of poor health is induration, which is when your body parts become hard and stiff. Induaration blocks the smooth flow of venis, lymph glands, and nerves, and it usually happens deep in your muscle tissue. It is impossible to reach induration deep inside your muscle with normal massage, as the wrist can only press the surface of your body. Our method uses the thumb to stimulate induration, which makes it impossible to reach deep areas of your muscle.
We take care and believe it is important to provide thorough consulting to our clients. We do this through careful interviews, assessments, and body movement checks. We do not require any special instructions or extra fees for such consulting.
By the end of the therapy, you will receive advice on lifestyle as well as information that will help you improve your health.
Furthermore, SEITAI has an impact on diet. Malaysia is an Asian country with a particularly serious obesity problem. Some people want to lose weight. SEITAI is an effective way for such people to lose weight. Pelvic adjustment increases blood flow and metabolism. This allows them to burn more calories while performing the same exercise. This is why SEITAI will be so important in Malaysia.
KAMI Japanese Body Therapy has two stores in Malaysia. The first store is in KLCC. The second store is in Bangsar. Our shop’s concept is a one-of-a-kind Japanese-style relaxing space based on greenery, which you won’t find anywhere else in Malaysia. We treat our customers with sincerity, care about their physical problems, and keep them informed about their bodies.If there is something wrong with your body, it is advisable to go to KAMI.

Malaysia’s Unicorn CARSOME Open To New Funding, Open To Dual-Listing
Southeast Asia’s largest car e-commerce platform Carsome is open to new funding from potential strategic investors, its co-founder and group CEO Eric Cheng told Reuters.
Cheng said the company is looking for strategic investors whose “businesses are able to add value to what we are doing, be it on car trading, financing or insurance.”
He told Reuters on the sidelines of the Forbes Global CEO Conference in Singapore. Last year, Carsome has won one of Malaysia’s first batch of digital bank licenses, as part of the consortium led by KAF Investment Bank. Cheng earlier told TNGlobal that the consortium plans to launch its digital bank as early as year-end or early next year.
Carsome is ready for an initial public offering (IPO) but is in no rush to list, Cheng told Reuters.
“We haven’t really set a right timeline or window,” he said, adding the company was also open to a dual-listing.
“We need exchanges that appreciate the business that we’re building,” he was quoted as saying. “We need that exchange to be able to also provide enough liquidity.”
Carsome was valued at $1.7 billion in its fund-raising round early last year, when it completed its $290 million Series E round. The financing round then was jointly led by Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), 65 Equity Partners (65EP) and Seatown Private Capital Master Fund (Seatown). The round also saw participation from investors such as Mediatek, Sunway, Gokongwei Group, YTL Group, and Taiwan Mobile.
The Malaysia-headquartered unicorn has hit operational profitability in the first quarter of this year and is expected to achieve its first group-wide profit or break-even before year-end, Cheng reportedly said.
Carsome has become Malaysia’s first tech unicorn as part of a share-swap deal that take a stake in iCar Asia in July 2021.
Founded in 2015, Carsome has expanded into Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and recently in the Philippines. It works with 20,000 dealers and has an average of 15 million monthly visitors across its platforms, according to its website.
In Southeast Asia, Carsome competes with Singapore-based Carro, Indonesia’s OLX Auto and Carousell Auto Group.
Carsome is said to be delaying its dual listing plans in Singapore and the US on concerns that deteriorating macroeconomic conditions could dent its valuation, Bloomberg reported in June last year. The tech unicorn was expected to raise about $300-400 million at a valuation of about $2 billion for the IPO on NASDAQ, according to earlier reports then.
CARSOME is Southeast Asia’s largest integrated car e-commerce platform, with presence in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore.
