Original Yin Qi Gong GYM

Positive experience: It is like nothing you can imagine.three years for me.

Fantastic experience: Rolfing (or structural integration) is a form of soft tissue manipulation. I was Rolfed by a professional and his famous Rolfing instructor, who was a student of Ida Rolf, the woman who developed Rolfing in the 1950s. I think that Rolfing is a good way for people to increase their flexibility, especially those with bad posture; however, based on my personal experiences, I also think it is limited as a treatment for back pain. ~ ~ ~ I went through the entire 10-sessions of Rolfing about four years ago with additional sessions three years ago. I threw out my back very badly about two months after being Rolfed. The pain was terrible. I was dragging myself on the floor, on all fours, to the bathroom. The problem improved after a week of taking Flexoril and prescription strength Ibuprofin, but came back about 27 months ago. I saw many different kinds of doctors and healers--from the famous Rolfer, to chiropractors, physiotherapists, massage therapists, a radiologist, nutritionist, acupuncturist, pyramid healer, and so on. Probably I saw a dozen doctors and healers in all, and all were known for being exceptional in their fields. However, not one of them was able to help me until I got help from one person: Albert Che-Hao Chang. One might ask, why didn't I come to the Original Yin Qi Gong Gym and Wellness Center sooner? But the fact is I wasn't ambulatory--I simply couldn't. ~ ~ ~ I don't want to criticize any of the practitioners I saw, because I know they were able to help many people, were highly recommended, and compared favorably to others in their field. However, they were obviously missing something, or I would have got well. I don't know how to describe precisely what they were missing. I think a carpenter sees a world of wood and hammers, and a plumber sees a world of pipes. A chiropractor sees subluxations, and an acupuncturist sees meridians. Even if they don't have the right tools for the condition, they can still help most people through the placebo effect. But I was too far gone for the placebo effect to help me. I needed something that could get to the core of the problem. ~ ~ ~ There was also something harmful about their treatments. Few seemed to get their energy clear before placing their hands on me. Nobody was reading sutras. I sometimes could feel agitation and ignorance in the very hands that were supposed to help me. ~ ~ ~ Albert's treatments were different. For one thing, they were complete. He prescribed food, exercise, stretching, meditation, relaxation, acupuncture, herbs--and everything fit together cohesively. It was intense and effective. If I think about the equipment that a typical chiropractor has--a table, a traction device, an inversion device--it's standard, limited, and with respect to inversion not something I could use at that time. They don't have the "four flags" of complementary machines use in Original Yin Qi Gong Gym. ~ ~ ~ My sense was that Rolfing or chiropractic or acupuncture or aromatherapy or personal training are incomplete systems, but Original Yin provided a complete system. So I asked myself, "When you can study with the creator of a complete system, why study with the practitioner of an incomplete system?"
