Hidekazu Kuwabara is a Japan-trained physiotherapist with international clinical experience — accompanying professional soccer teams and the Dutch Judo National Team across Belgium, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and Japan. His approach is pattern-based rather than protocol-driven.
His practice is built on a simple premise: pain is almost never where it starts. The pattern shows in how a body loads, compensates, and moves when no one is watching. Hide reads that pattern, then works the system back toward something more efficient and less defensive.
He trained in Japanese acupuncture as a different lens on the same question. For cases that exceed what physiotherapy alone can resolve, Hide works closely with the AlterPhysio acupuncture team — Soichiro Funo and Haruki Sakai. His clients range from professional athletes to people whose chronic pain has not responded to standard care.

"Finally free from pain after 2.5 years."
"After several physios for my knee pain with little progress, I finally found Hide. He looks beyond the specific body part to understand what is really contributing."
