My back!

Days could be just ordinary with repeating daily routines. This could be very boring but somehow we couldn’t search for fresh and special things all the time in our lives. However, we should enjoy ourselves in the routines and get ourselves to be content.

Yesterday was a special day to me, because I experienced something special. Early in the morning, my mother and I went to Taman Seri Juru at Juru. We were looking for a Manual Therapist Dr. Khaw to fix some of our physical problems. With ease, we were able to find his house without GPS. At the gate of his house, we saw a mother (his wife maybe) was about to bring her children to school. She didn’t ask us to get in her house, but we just walked and entered into his house steadily.

There is a bunting hanging at the front door with a scientific phrase ISAT – Impulse Subluxation Adjusting Technique. There are many diseases written on the bunting, with this technique, those diseases could be cured. There are plentiful actually, it is really impressive to me as in I never thought that our bone condition could be relevant to our health. Before this, my mother told me that this treatment doesn’t hurt people that much. I was curious of how this treatment can cure someone without making someone feeling painful and suffered. It sounds surprising to me, as I have been set in severe physical pain for many times when I was having certain treatments to fix my injuries. To me, healing can never come without pain, and I got used of it.

In the hall of his house, what I saw is a typical mess. (My house was used to be messy like that.) Since there are many children in his house and I don’t think mischievous children would be that disciplined and well-behaved, so it would be just reasonable after all. My mother eased herself into a sofa and started waiting for the doctor while I was looking around the house.

After a while, Dr. Khaw went out from the kitchen and greeted to us politely. He led us to his office and started asking about our problems. His office looks tidy which is totally a different condition compared to the hall. There are many diagrams of bone structures hanging on the hall, and a back bone model placed on his table. First of all, he explained about how bone condition could influence our health condition indirectly but significantly. He made a demonstration of how to test whether if a person has problems on his backbone. This demonstration is easy. He led me to carry out this demonstration.

I was asked to put my fists before my chest and one fist is above another. The position is like holding a long sword before my chest. I was standing with my feet parallel to my shoulders; it’s an upright standing position. I was asked to oppose the force he applies on my fish, without great bone condition, I would be able to oppose the applied force without leaning forward and getting imbalanced. Anyway, I lost my balance when I tried to oppose the force. I felt quite sad and curious why I would lean forward; he just used only one hand while I was using both of my hands to oppose the force.

He said,’ I just used one hand only, but you leaned forward, so it is not about the magnitude of the force.’ After that, he just took out a tool some sort like gun, and stick it to my neck. He triggered the tool and gave several impacts on the bone of my neck. After that, we repeated the test, but the reaction was different. Surprisingly, I was able to oppose his force despite the magnitude of the force he tried his best to apply. He said the impacts that he exerted to my neck actually rectified the position of the bones of my neck. If the positioning of the bones is improper, your body would lose balance easily. After the test, he started the treatment. Not much pain I got from the treatment, the tool gave impacts to my whole back bone. He found that the joints of my backbone aren’t in a proper position as I got banged frequently by the people when playing basketball. My joints of backbone have lost their original positioning due to the body collision with other people.

However, he helped me to make it right. Thank God that now I feel much better with my back. Sometimes I just found my back uncomfortable. Wow~ I just realized that backbone is really significant to a person.
