“I had a total of nine surgeries, two of them serious back surgeries, and the last one left me in such a bad condition that  I could not stand up anymore.”

I came to the United States from Hungary in 1983.  I am a gymnastics coach and college teacher of physical education.  I had a total of nine surgeries, two of them serious back surgeries, and the last one left me in such a bad condition that I could not stand up anymore.  I saw seven specialists, various acupuncturists, and chiropractors but I could not heal.  I was so depressed that I thought it was the end of my life.  I had worked-out every day, seven days a week, and suddenly I had to stop and do nothing.  I was utterly miserable and it seemed that no one could help me.

By the time I started attending Shen Qi, I had been unable to sit normally in a chair for two years.  I had calluses on my knees from the way I was obliged to sit.  I was told that my back pain was no problem to fix with Shen Qi.

After about 45 minutes in the session, I decided to try sitting in a normal position in the chair. I stood up, removed my pillow, and sat down.  And I stayed that way until the end of the session an hour later. After four months, my back pain was 80% better.  Now, a year later, I can lift things, clean the pool, and do just about every normal activity again.  To me, that is a true miracle.

In addition to the tremendous results with my back pain, my relationships with family and others are greatly improved.  I used to get so angry and yell at my kids and wife and feel resentment and make judgments about others.  I had no patience.  Now I understand myself as well as other people and I am not yelling or getting angry the way I used to.    I am more patient, calmer and more forgiving.
