Hi, I'm new here. I have had a bad scoliosis since my teens. I am now in my late 50s. It has gotten so severe that my breathing is constrained. My leg on the right side went numb a couple times, my doctor guesses from possible nerve damage in my back. I have a brown patch of skin on my back my doctor also said was due to permanent nerve damage in my back. I'm in pain 24/7.
Has anyone here tried Zhineng Qigong? I recently tried a 7 day Zhineng Qigong retreat (it should be called "Intensive" rather than "Retreat", you work hard. The main focus is on the spine. I had done a mini-retreat a couple years back and found relief, but didn't follow through with the exercises (practice) regularly enough. I'm so glad I went and did this again--this time more fully focused. After 7 days at the retreat and now 3 days doing the practice at home every day as well--so 10 days total, I'm visually seeing a difference in my back and my pain greatly lessened...There are long periods of time I am pain free. First time in a years. I think the Spinal Bone Marrow practice has helped me the most. I wanted to share, because I so wish I would have done this sooner. I plan to find time every morning to do my Qigong. (there are other kinds of Qigong--but Zhineng Qigong is the kind I read about as having the most dramatic benefits for the spine).
I'm documenting my journey on video to see what a year of Qigong will do for my back, and compare x-rays at the end as well. I'll keep you updated every so many months.
