Greetings to the 18th Biophilia Rehabilitation conference

How funny and simple tools to everyday exercise! That was my first expression to Pata & Koro over 25 years ago. How time flies. Prof.Takizawa and his colleagues have been struggled to be accepted these tools popular not only in Japan but also over the world. I have been the initial member still now. The main concept of the exercise program using these tools is the strategy against coming aging crisis. We ourselves are just the baby boomers coming senior age within one decade,soon. Our members have visited so many countries to get communications and have discussions each other together about population crisis. Guam,Philippine,China,Canada,Germany,Poland,Australia,Cuba,Spain,Italy,Rumania,Ratobia, and so many countries．We have had so many memories and colleagues there. Actually Prof.Takizawa had gotten several public funds to prove these tools and exercises with them effective. We actually know we can find the new solution from the old ways. The end point of our plan will become clear to have independent living as long as possible
