Rigaku Body Promotes Healthy Climbing Lifespan at Summer Mountain Festival

Rigaku Body, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, lives by its unwavering mission: “To make people healthy worldwide through the best technology.” In pursuit of this goal, the company participated in the 8th Summer Mountain Festival in Fukuoka, held on June 28 and 29, 2025, at the Mirai Hall in Central Fukuoka. The event was aimed at dedicated climbers, advocating the importance of self-care for a long and healthy climbing lifestyle.

Climbing is a magnificent activity that liberates the mind and body while providing unparalleled experiences. However, the physical strain on the knees and back can lead many enthusiasts to abandon their passion due to discomfort. Rigaku Body participated with a strong desire to assist climbers in maintaining their enthusiasm throughout their lives, offering expert knowledge and techniques tailored to support them.

A Two-Day Journey Focusing on Common Climbers' Discomforts

At Rigaku Body's booth, specialized staff based on programs supervised by physical therapists conducted thorough checks on each visitor’s physical condition. They proposed personalized Pilates exercises applicable on-site, taking into account each visitor's unique posture and movement patterns.

The focus was on common discomforts related to “knees and back” experienced during hikes. Participants learned effective methods to alleviate pressure on their bodies through specific movements and home-based self-care techniques. Feedback from attendees included enthusiastic remarks such as:

• - “I discovered my body's quirks for the first time; it was eye-opening!”
• - “It felt surprisingly effective despite its simplicity.”
• - “I think I can easily continue it at home, so I want to incorporate it right away.”

Prominent climbing YouTuber JIN visited the booth, where he experienced posture checks and exercises firsthand. Additionally, there was a special discussion with renowned climbing YouTuber Kaho.

Practical Self-Care Seminar on Post-Climbing Discomfort

On the second day, June 29, Takumi Kata, Director of Rigaku Body and a specialist in fascia manipulation, delivered a professional seminar titled “Body Alignment and Introduction to Pilates to Support Your Climbing Life.”

He presented that during descent, knee pressure can be about twice that of flat walking, and the load on the quadriceps can reach up to 2.8 times the normal rate. With data support, he elaborated on the unique physical stress that climbing incurs on the body, emphasizing the necessity of fascia care and Pilates-based self-care, along with practical techniques to harmonize joint movements in an understandable manner.

Participants expressed thoughts like:

• - “The content was immediately applicable; I want to utilize it for my post-climb care.”
• - “The combination of theory and practical application made it extremely clear.”

This response reflects the high interest in self-care based on an understanding of the body's mechanics.

Rigaku Body's Future Vision: Supporting the 'Can Do' Through Health
