The company operates relaxation studios under the Re.Ra.Ku brand, which focuses on shoulder-blade stretching and preventive body care, and describes itself as aiming to become a comprehensive healthcare trading company providing services from prevention to medical care. Its business spans studio operation and development, healthcare research, health-tech, education, and franchising. Group companies include MEDIROM Wellness, MEDIROM MOTHER Labs, MEDIROM Shared Services, Sawan, ZACC, and MEDIROM Rehab Solutions. The group also offers the Lav healthcare app, the MOTHER wearable activity tracker, the REMONY remote health management system, and operates the Cerebral Infarction Rehabilitation Center.

MEDIROM was established on July 13, 2000, as Rilak Co., Ltd. (株式会社リラク), founded by Koji Eguchi, who had previously worked at Jack Co., Ltd. (now Car-City Holdings) and PriceDown.com. The company initially focused on operating relaxation studios under the Re.Ra.Ku brand, which emphasizes shoulder-blade stretching and preventive body care. Over the years, it expanded its network of studios across Japan, becoming a leading operator in the relaxation industry. In January 2017, the company changed its name from Rilak Co., Ltd. to MEDIROM Co., Ltd. (株式会社メディロム), reflecting its broader healthcare ambitions. On December 29, 2020, MEDIROM listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange in the United States, marking a significant milestone as a Japanese healthcare company on a U.S. exchange. The company has since diversified into health-tech with products like the Lav healthcare app, the MOTHER wearable activity tracker (which uses temperature-difference power generation for battery-free operation), and the REMONY remote health management system. It also operates the Cerebral Infarction Rehabilitation Center, providing self-pay rehabilitation services. As of 2024, the group had 443 full-time employees and 1,173 total employees, with an average age of 30.5. The company continues to pursue its vision of becoming a comprehensive healthcare trading company, integrating prevention, wellness, and medical care.
