Dr Tobias Hall, Chiropractor near Paraparaumu, Kapiti, NZ
Tobias Hall, chiropractor and provider of treatment for back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and sports injury to Paraparaumu, Wellington and Kapiti Coast talks about OWNERSHIP of your physical and healing limitations.
I visited a friend recently who is recovering from a spinal cord infection. After months of agonizing pain in hospital, on morphine drips, his problem was finally diagnosed and antibiotics saved his life.
The infection has left Joe completely crippled. His muscles have wasted away to nothing and he currently has feeling in but no use of his legs. Worryingly he doesn’t seem to have gotten any stronger over the last 2 months.
After observing him for a couple of days I taught him some specific QI GONG stretches. I told him that instead of lying in bed waiting to get stronger he should do thousands of repetitions of his stretches daily… Joe wants his body back so that’s exactly what he started doing.
Forty Eight hours later his family have noticed a startling change in Joe. He has suddenly stopped asking for the pain in his hands and legs to be massaged. He is sleeping less. He has doubled the movement in his legs and there is a definite little spark that has returned to him. Early days but it’s definitely an exciting development not only for Joe but also his family who have tended to him 24 hours a day for many months.
My advice to you is to assume that everything can be fixed with an open mind, an open heart and good honest hard work. Never let anyone tell you what your physical and healing limitations are….even if they are considered to be an expert.
