Method & Theory 25

#BC Total Balance System BCトータルバランスシステム
BC = Bio (living body) + Cell. A treatment and conditioning system since 1996 that views the body in terms of "connections" rather than "parts". A circular feedback loop of measure → arrange → train.
#BC BC ／ ビーシー＝Bio Cell
Initials of Bio (living body) and Cell. Expresses the philosophy of guiding the living body toward health from the cellular level.
#The three pillars of the BC method (shared protocol) BCメソッドの3本柱（共通プロトコル）
The cycle of BC Analyze (measurement/analysis = measure) → BC Balance Therapy (arrange) → BC Exercise (improving adjustment ability = train).
#BC Analyze BCアナライズ
The measurement and analysis phase: a dedicated sensor quantifies left-right differences, centre-of-gravity tendencies and movement characteristics so you can objectively grasp where your body is now.
#BC Balance Therapy BCバランス療法
Treatment that "arranges" the body using dedicated materials inspired by the components of cell membranes (such as ALA TR Gel), working step by step from the surface to the deeper layers. On kinetic.co.jp it consists of two techniques: Keita and Keiji.
#Keita 啓他 ／ 啓他（けいた）
A BC Balance Therapy technique. Treatment material based on gamma-linolenic acid is applied to improve the surface layers of the body and its balance. "Kei means to open, to teach and to guide."
#Keiji 啓自 ／ 啓自（けいじ）
A BC Balance Therapy technique. Gentle and soft, yet reaching the deeper layers of the body to improve balance.
#BC Exercise BCエクササイズ
A proprietary exercise programme aimed at improving adjustment ability (the regulating ability of the autonomic nervous system). Composed of Taiin Kodo and Taiyo Kodo; the content changes according to your condition that day.
#Taiin Kodo (lunar beat) 太陰鼓動 ／ 太陰鼓動（たいいんこどう）
A breathing and movement programme themed on the phases of the moon. Regulates cycles of tension and relaxation in step with the waxing and waning moon, synchronising lunar rhythm with the body's rhythm.
#Taiyo Kodo (solar beat) 太陽鼓動 ／ 太陽鼓動（たいようこどう）
A movement programme themed on the four seasons and the movement of the earth. Arranges and activates balance in step with the changing seasons.
#5B 5B ／ ファイブビー
The initials of the five core elements of BC Exercise: BREATH, BAR, BOARD, BOWL and BRIDGE. Also the collective name for the fundamental set of tools (equipment).
#Yin-yang theory 陰陽論 ／ 陰陽論（いんようろん）
A way of thinking that classifies all things into "yin" and "yang" and understands them through balance. The foundational philosophy of the BC Total Balance System.
#Opposition, interdependence, waxing and waning, transformation, divisibility (of yin and yang) 陰陽対立・陰陽互根・陰陽消長・陰陽転化・陰陽可分
The five basic laws of yin-yang theory (they oppose each other / cannot be separated / their balance is not constant / they transform when reaching an extreme / each has stages).
#Macrocosm and microcosm 大宇宙・小宇宙 ／ 大宇宙・小宇宙（だいうちゅう・しょううちゅう）
Nature = the macrocosm, the human body = the microcosm. The core idea that "the order of nature = the order of the body" and that attuning to nature is the greatest key to improvement.
#Shizentai (natural posture) 自然体 ／ 自然体（しぜんたい）
A posture that is neither strained nor slack — free of unnecessary tension and in which you can express your strength best. Originally a term from martial arts such as judo. Acquired through BC Exercise.
#Autonomic nervous system regulating ability 自律神経調整能力
What BC Exercise aims to improve: the ability to regulate the autonomic nervous system, which maintains the wholeness, relativity and complementarity of the entire body.
#Natural healing power / homeostasis 自然治癒力・恒常性維持機能
The body's function of keeping its state constant (the interaction of the nervous, endocrine and immune systems). BCTBS aims to activate this regulating ability.
#Chronic inflammation 慢性炎症
The theoretical background of the topical care products. Regarded as a common cause of many diseases, and the reason for focusing on the anti-inflammatory action of gamma-linolenic acid.
#Self-Conditioning セルフコンディショニング
The core concept word across the LAB-Link site. On the old landing page, "The new standard in self-conditioning" was the hero badge.
#The "answer" about your body's condition 体の状態の「答え」
A distinctive expression for the answer about your body's condition that the AI returns when you measure with the dedicated sensor. Used in the context that FORUM member clinics can offer deeper assessment and consultation than the "answer".
#Standing correctly (the body's foundation) 正しく立つこと（身体の土台）
The starting point of all movement. A "state in line with natural principles" in which each part is aligned straight against gravity and no excess force is applied.
#The place to return to 帰ってくる場所
The idea that daily exercise becomes a reference point (neutral) — a place to return to when your senses go astray.
#Kotowake ことわけ
The chapter heading "こ と わ け" at the top of kinetic.co.jp (bctbs.html). The distinctive title of the chapter that explains the background philosophy of BCTBS.
#Musuhi / traditional Japanese view of the body むすひ／日本古来の身体観
The central theme of the kinetic.co.jp top page. Developed through three concepts: "mind and body", "people and nature", and "musuhi" (産霊, generative spirit).
#Tacit knowledge (experiential knowledge) / embodied knowledge 暗黙知（経験知）・身体知
Used as a pair: knowledge that classical physics cannot resolve but that can be explained = tacit knowledge (experiential knowledge); knowledge you can verify for yourself = embodied knowledge.

5B & Tools 6

#Breath: B-TUBE ブレス（Breath）：B-TUBE ／ ブレス（Breath）：B-TUBE（ビーチューブ）
The "BREATH" of 5B. A dedicated tube used in the breathing exercise of inhaling deeply down to the bottom of the belly. Slightly thinner and firmer than a juice-carton straw. Available in three sizes: S, M and L (confirmed 2026-08-14). Two S and two M come in the LAB-Link box.
#B-TUBE size selection (S / M / L) B-TUBEサイズ判定（S／M／L）
As a rule: waxing (first-quarter) moon (right side bright) → size S; waning (last-quarter) moon (left side bright) → size M. Size L is for breath training while playing sports or for people with weak breathing. Ultimately, follow the instructions of AI coaching.
#Bar: Kinetic Bar バー（Bar）：キネティックバー
The "BAR" of 5B. A thin wooden stick slightly longer than shoulder width (about the size of a pestle). Holding it horizontally behind the body, or raising it overhead and lowering it in a circle, helps you recognise your imbalance and build a centre.
#Board: Linkage Board ボード（Board）：リンケージボード
The "BOARD" of 5B. Wooden, about 50 cm long and 3.6 cm thick. Uses the minimum height at which a person notices a step to develop whole-body coordination and adjustment ability while releasing excess tension in the pelvis and lower abdomen.
#Bowl: Care Disc ボウル（Bowl）：ケアディスク
The "BOWL" of 5B. A tool shaped like a hemisphere with a hollow of three overlapping circles. Sitting on it with legs apart or cross-legged draws the centre of gravity to the middle and brings awareness to the pelvic floor muscles.
#Bridge: Bridge Exercise ブリッジ（Bridge）：各種ブリッジ
The "BRIDGE" of 5B. No dedicated tool (a yoga mat is used in demonstrations). Trains not mere flexibility but "strength" — maximising and expressing force while keeping the centre of gravity.

Topical Care Products 7

The collective name for the family of gamma-linolenic acid products: gel, balm and Rinne. Manufactured by Aarakirei Co., Ltd.
#ALA TR Gel ALA TR ジェル ／ ALA TR ジェル（アーラ ティーアール ジェル）

#Rinne 琳音（リンネ）
A functional nutritional supplement (82 g, 180 capsules) with gamma-linolenic acid as its main ingredient plus carotenoids, vitamin E and MCT oil. ¥12,100 (tax incl.). Guideline: 3–6 capsules per day.
#Gamma-linolenic acid ガンマーリノレン酸 ／ ガンマーリノレン酸（γ-リノレン酸）
The main ingredient of the three topical care products. An omega-6 essential fatty acid derived from borage oil that makes up cell membranes and cannot be synthesised in the body.
#MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides) MCTオイル（中鎖脂肪酸）
The other major ingredient in Rinne. Medium-chain fatty acids obtained by removing the long-chain components from coconut oil.
#Oil (old name for gel / balm) オイル（ジェル／バームの旧呼称）
What the instruction video (#16) and some older materials call "oil" is the same product as ALA TR Gel and Kinetic Balm (gel / balm). From 2026-08-17, the app (Lab-Link) and the help site consistently say "gel or balm". There is no separate oil product.
