Founded in the Treatment Rooms of Takarazuka City
For more than twenty years, brothers Kenji Tanaka (PT, MSc) and Hiroshi Tanaka (DPT) operated a specialized musculoskeletal manual therapy clinic in Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture. Day after day, they treated athletes recovering from torn anterior cruciate ligaments, senior citizens struggling with bone-on-bone knee osteoarthritis, and office workers crippled by lumbar disc bulges.
What frustrated both brothers was the post-clinic reality: patients would leave their clinic feeling pain-free, only to return a week later because commercial drug-store braces failed to provide adequate mechanical guidance. Cheap tubular fabric sleeves either pinched the popliteal crease or slid down the leg, providing nothing more than an illusion of warmth.
“We realized that patients don't just need exercises once a week. They need an external skeletal guide that intercepts joint shear force during the 8,000 steps they take every single day. That was the day ComfyPlus was born.”
