Meet Yuji Kitano

Yuji Kitano is a physiotherapist providing English-speaking strength and movement coaching for beginners, active adults, expats, and individuals wanting to improve long-term physical health in Tokyo and Yokohama.

With a background in physiotherapy and movement-based rehabilitation, coaching sessions combine exercise, movement coaching, and strength training with an understanding of pain, injury management, physical limitations, and long-term health.

Unlike general fitness training, sessions are designed for real people with real physical concerns — including pain, stiffness, deconditioning, lack of exercise experience, fear of movement, or health-related movement challenges.

Many clients are starting exercise for the first time in years, returning after injury, or simply wanting support to become healthier and more physically capable in daily life.
