“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.
