The other day, Fiona went apple picking nearby and brought us a bunch of freshly picked apples!

They were perfectly sweet with just the right amount of tartness, making the ideal break time treat for everyone.

Taking a little breather while enjoying seasonal fruit like this really helps refresh both mind and body! 🍎✨

先日、フィオナが近隣でアップルピッキングをして、採れたてのりんごをみんなに持ってきてくれました。 自然な甘さとほどよい酸味がとっても美味しくて、ブレイクタイムにみんなでいただきました。

旬のフルーツを楽しみながら、ちょっとひと休み。 こんな小さな楽しみも、心と身体のリフレッシュになりますね!

In Japan, we have a beautiful word, "Ume-shigoto" (literally "plum work").

Ripe Japanese plums are extremely delicate, so every step—from harvesting to curing—is done with immense care, moving at the natural rhythm of the season's weather. My late grandmother used to do this every year as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Umeboshi (pickled plums) are actually my absolute favorite food, but finding truly delicious, additive-free ones here in the US is quite a challenge.

Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to harvest "Apriplums"—a natural cross between an apricot and a plum—at a friend's community garden where I volunteer.

I cured the ones I brought home with 20% natural sea salt for Umeboshi, and used the rest to brew homemade plum liqueur with brown sugar and vodka. It’s a bit late in the season, but now I’m waiting for three clear, sunny days to sun-dry them before placing them back into the plum vinegar.

Turning something I used to just buy at the store into something I craft with my own hands—especially while living in the US—has been such a fresh, meaningful, and grounding experience.

日本には「梅仕事」という美しい言葉があります。

完熟した梅の実はとても傷つきやすいため、収穫から漬け込みまでの一連の作業を、その時期の天候や自然のリズムに合わせてとても丁寧に行います。

亡くなった私の祖母も、毎年のように当たり前の日常としてこの季節の手仕事をこなしていました。

私は一番好きな食べ物が梅干しなのですが、ここアメリカでは無添加で本当に美味しい梅干しに出会うのがとても難しく……。

そんな中、お手伝いをしている友人のコミュニティガーデンで、アプリコットと梅のハーフである「アプリプラム(Appriplum)」を収穫させてもらうという、とても貴重な体験をしました。

分けていただいた実を、天然塩20%で梅干し用に漬け込み、余ったものはブラウンシュガーとウォッカで梅酒に。
すっかり遅くなってしまいましたが、これからお天気の良い3日間を狙って「土用干し(天日干し)」をし、再び梅酢に戻す作業が待っています。

今まで「買うもの」だった大好きなものを、自分の手で作れる喜び。
アメリカで過ごす日常も重なって、とても新鮮で愛おしい時間になりました。

I’m always on the lookout for a better mosquito repellent. This article caught my eye since I have lots of catnip in the garden, but the comment section got me chuckling and thinking twice.

Fiona

自然に囲まれて暮らすFionaは、夏になると「もっと効果的な蚊よけはないかしら?」と、いつも探しているそうです。

「キャットニップ(catnip)のローションに、強力な蚊よけ成分『ディート(DEET)』と同等の効果がある」という研究を紹介するこの記事。

庭にキャットニップがたくさんあるので目に留まったのですが、コメント欄を読んだら思わずクスリ。 猫ちゃんたちに囲まれる姿を想像して、ちょっと考え直してしまいました(笑)。

💡The Unexpected Roles of Body Fat💡

Body fat supports more than metabolism.

It helps with:
• Temperature regulation
• Organ protection
• Tissue repair
• Immune response

Healthy adipose tissue contributes to systemic balance.Function matters more than quantity.

体脂肪には意外な役割があります。

・体温調整
・内臓の保護
・組織修復
・免疫応答

重要なのは体脂肪の「量」の増減ではなく、その “機能”なのです。

I’ve been taking my lunch breaks at Bryant Park for some time now, but I’m especially drawn to the park this month!

Myself, along with others who’ve been wooed by the silly antics of the American Woodcock, aka the Timberdoodle, have flocked to Bryant Park in the hopes of catching a glimpse of this dancing bird on their migration pit stop. And incredibly, in the middle of the city, there they were.

This tiny, oddly spherical, and very well camouflaged bird travels hundreds of miles, pausing briefly in places like NYC to rest and refuel before continuing on. It feels surreal that while we’re rushing through our day, they’re quietly passing through the same spaces with their own agenda.

Bryant Park is an important reminder that small pockets of greenery make immense positive impacts by creating safe spaces for the wonderful co-inhabitants of our planet - even here in the busiest parts of the city.

🤔Does Body Fat Influence Immunity?🤔

Did you know body fat is biologically active?
Adipose tissue is not just energy storage.

It releases signaling molecules (adipokines) that interact with the immune system.

Fat tissue participates in immune regulation and inflammation balance.

It’s more than padding.

🤔体脂肪と聞くと、どんなイメージがありますか?🤔
体脂肪はただの「エネルギーの貯蔵庫」ではありません。

脂肪組織はアディポカインというシグナル物質を分泌し、免疫と関わっています。

体脂肪は炎症や免疫調整に関与する“活動的な組織”です。
単なる体型を悪くする悪者、ではないのです。

最近有り難いことに患者様対応に終われ、受付で長時間座り続けているせいか、以前痛めた腰がまた気になり始め、フィオナ先生に診ていただきました。

穏やかな空間の中で、気づけば痛みのことも忘れてしまうほどリラックス、いつの間にか、軽く眠ってしまっていました。

施術後は、日常生活で気をつけるポイントも丁寧に教えていただき、改めて身体と向き合う大切さを実感しました。

無理を続ける前に、こういう時間って必要だなと改めて感じさせてくれた、フィオナ先生とのセッションでした。

Lately, I’ve been so grateful to be busy assisting our patients! 🤍

However, all those hours sitting at the reception desk started to trigger an old back injury... so I decided it was time to let Fiona work her magic. ✨
The atmosphere was so peaceful that I completely forgot about the pain and drifted off into a deep, relaxing sleep. 😴

After the session, Fiona shared some invaluable tips on how to care for my body during daily life. It was a gentle reminder of how important it is to listen to our bodies before we hit our limit. Taking this time for yourself isn't a luxury—it's a necessity.
If you’ve been pushing through discomfort like I was, maybe it’s time for a little "maintenance" too?

✋ Stuck with a patient who isn’t progressing? ✋

We’ve all been there: the evidence-based exercises are perfect, the joint mobilizations are spot on, but the patient has plateaued. The "missing link" might not be in the muscles or joints—it might be in the visceral fascia.

Our very own Dr. Miho Urisaka, PT, DPT, OCS, CSC I, is hosting an exclusive webinar for the APTA Hudson Valley District to dive deep into the "unseen" mechanical drivers of pain.

What you’ll learn:
✨ How hepatic ligaments can trigger right shoulder impingement.
✨ Why Sibson’s fascia is often the culprit behind chronic first-rib dysfunction.
✨ How to refine your tactile sensitivity to a "sub-micron" level.

At OMPT, we don't just follow protocols; we lead the conversation in integrated manual therapy. Dr. Miho spends her time mentoring the next generation of PTs, and this course is your chance to see that high-level clinical reasoning in action.

🗓 When: Wednesday, April 29, 2026 | 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
📍 Where: Zoom (Virtual Event)
🎓CEHs: 1.8 credits approved for PT/PTAs

Ready to level up your clinical skills? Registration is open until 4/28! Members and students—don't miss those special rates.
