First Successful Treatment

I am happy to say that I treated my first patient yesterday with great success. :)

The patient, let's call him "Patient X", was experiencing shooting pain on his left upper limb and left lateral superior scapula. Patient X had this sharp pain for about a week, but said that it was acumulative over the past months and is most likely work related. He had tried hand held massagers and pain relieving bandages, but nothing worked for him.

Knowing that the patient did not experience any direct trauma/force to the affected area, I decided that I could try treating him with a few Tuina techniques.

I worked on his entire trapezius muscle with special emphasis along GB 21 to LI 16. I also focused on SI 11 and LI 4 to send Qi up his arm to the base of his skull. After about 20 minutes working on the patient, the patient's pain in his arm was almost entirely gone. He was also able to move his neck and felt that he overall radically improved. :)

So... I'm no doctor yet, but this experience is definitely a positive one. I can't wait until I learn more Tuina techniques!
