Mr. A has been coming to our place because of his dull pain in his hip joint. His other symptoms include gout, fatty liver, which shows outside the normal range.
The pain in his hip joint is chronic. He sometime had swollen fingers in his toes, and couldn't even walk. Due to these conditions, he came to our place, and it has been a year and a half.
In the earlier time, when he got up from the table, and sat down, he was always covering his hip joint with his hand due to the pain. "I have never had any damage on my buttocks, and no accident, so the pain must be because of aging..." said Mr. A.
It is common for many of our clients to say that there's no history of bruise, and so did Mr. A. I started to align his body from large contortions, and I was continuously looking for some hints from the conversation we had.
"Did you play any sports when you were a student?" I asked one time.
"Many! Gymnastics like mat movement, vaulting box, and balance beam..." he said.
"During practice, you must have had lots of bruises. Any stories?"
"Many!! I made a bad landing from trampoline, and hit my buttocks and head really hard. It was so painful...But it did not become bruises, and I was fine the next day."
The more we talked, the more stories of his injured history came out.
"Mr. A, those things are what we call history of bruises. They might not be a big accident or broken bones, but those impacts could make your bones contorted."
"Really? Then everyone must have many!"
"Sure, everyone including myself makes contortions without knowing it. It depends on how large the contortions are till you start having some uncomfortableness in your body. "
"I see."
"Your pain in the hip joint might be related to the incident which you his your buttocks and head. Let's start."
Sacrum, hip joint, lumbar vertebra, ribs, and skull, there are many contortions need to be aligned in his case. It has been a long time since the contund as he was a student, so contortions in his body largely remain.
I aligned to loosen up his body within limited time. Since his contortions were large, it took a while for him to actually feel the pain in his hip joint was improving. He could feel that he relaxes, and his body gets lighter after the sessions.
6 months had passed, and he had complained the pain from gout anymore.
"How is your gout these days, Mr. A?"
"Well, no pain at all."
As more sessions proceeded, he began to get up from the bed without trouble.
"My hip joint pain is improved so much recently! Still a bit of pain, but nothing like dull pain it used to be. Moreover, my recent check up showed improved condition of liver!"
It was such a happy news after a year and half. He doesn't feel pain when he sits for a long time at work now. I appreciate his patience which has kept him coming back to us for the past one year and half.
