I had back surgery six months ago, and while the acute issue was fixed, I was left with a lot of residual stiffness and scar tissue pain. I felt stiff as a board every morning and couldn’t bend over to put my socks on. I worried the ship’s bed would make it worse.
Dr. Chen explained that the flow of energy was blocked around the surgical site. He treated the area and also worked on my flexibility. It was amazing—I could feel the muscles relaxing in real-time.
After three treatments, I touched my toes for the first time since my surgery. The stiffness is gone, and I feel more mobile than I have in years. I’m going home to restart my yoga practice, something I thought I’d had to give up forever. Thank you, Dr. Chen! (Karen)
