Dohsa-Hou therapy is a type of psychorehabilitation developed in Japan in the 1970’s and is based on a holistic approach to health, amalgamating the client’s biological, psychological, and social needs. The purpose of this case study was to introduce and outline the development, process, and effects of Dohsa-Hou therapy, and to contribute to the limited but growing supply of English literature on this subject. The improvements in physical and mental health of a 19-year-old Japanese female diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy were described over a weeklong Dohsa-Hou camp, which included three Dohsa-Hou therapy sessions daily. By the camp’s close, the adolescent showed reduced tonicity, particularly in her back muscles, and aside from the ordinary initial timidity, her naturally resilient attitude did not falter. Dohsa-Hou therapy is effective for improving the holistic health of patients with cerebral palsy by encouraging the interplay between physical achievements, a positive attitude, and a social lifestyle.
