Rolfing (or structural integration) is a form of soft tissue manipulation. I was Rolfed by a professional and his famous Rolfing instructor, who was a student of Ida Rolf, the woman who developed Rolfing in the 1950s. I think that Rolfing is a good way for people to increase their flexibility, especially those with bad posture; however, based on my personal experiences, I also think it is limited as a treatment for back pain. ~ ~ ~ I went through the entire 10-sessions of Rolfing about four years ago with additional sessions three years ago. I threw out my back very badly about two months after being Rolfed. The pain was terrible. I was dragging myself on the floor, on all fours, to the bathroom. The problem improved after a week of taking Flexoril and prescription strength Ibuprofin, but came back about 27 months ago. I saw many different kinds of doctors and healers--from the famous Rolfer, to chiropractors, physiotherapists, massage therapists, a radiologist, nutritionist, acupuncturist, pyramid healer, and so on. Probably I saw a dozen doctors and healers in all, and all were known for being exceptional in their fields. However, not one of them was able to help me until I got help from one person: Albert Che-Hao Chang. One might ask, why didn't I come to the Original Yin Qi Gong Gym and Wellness Center sooner? But the fact is I wasn't ambulatory--I simply couldn't. ~ ~ ~ I don't want to criticize any of the practitioners I saw, because I know they were able to help many people, were highly recommended, and compared favorably to others in their field. However, they were obviously missing something, or I would have got well. I don't know how to describe precisely what they were missing. I think a carpenter sees a world of wood and hammers, and a plumber sees a world of pipes. A chiropractor sees subluxations, and an acupuncturist sees meridians. Even if they don't have the right tools for the condition, they can still help most people through the placebo effect. But I was too far gone for the placebo effect to help me. I needed something that could get to the core of the problem. ~ ~ ~ There was also something harmful about their treatments. Few seemed to get their energy clear before placing their hands on me. Nobody was reading sutras. I sometimes could feel agitation and ignorance in the very hands that were supposed to help me. ~ ~ ~ Albert's treatments were different. For one thing, they were complete. He prescribed food, exercise, stretching, meditation, relaxation, acupuncture, herbs--and everything fit together cohesively. It was intense and effective. If I think about the equipment that a typical chiropractor has--a table, a traction device, an inversion device--it's standard, limited, and with respect to inversion not something I could use at that time. They don't have the "four flags" of complementary machines use in Original Yin Qi Gong Gym. ~ ~ ~ My sense was that Rolfing or chiropractic or acupuncture or aromatherapy or personal training are incomplete systems, but Original Yin provided a complete system. So I asked myself, "When you can study with the creator of a complete system, why study with the practitioner of an incomplete system?"

When I came to The Original Yin Qi Gong gym for the very first time (in January 2007) I weighed 112kg and - among numerous other physical issues - had a really bad problem with both hips. The last doctor I had consulted in Europe had commented matter-of-factly: "You need an operation and both hip joints replaced with artificial ones, otherwise you will scream with pain very soon." In the beginning I saw Albert Che-Hao Chang about once a week, hoping my problem could be fixed in a few weeks. Soon I realized that had been one pretty illusion. Also, I started getting the hang of those machines he used to treat me and slowly have me train some muscle groups which I had not used in decades. You could say I got hooked.... 18 months later I had lost more than 35 pounds and was looking and moving much better. Another two years later I had shed another 40 pounds and many of my old friends did not quite recognize me, they were stunned and wondered what had happened to my body. Sure, that was nice. But, much more important: I had actually found something that I never expected to come across in this life any more: relative health, joy without external stimulants, a kind of beauty I had given up on long time ago. Albert's machines work. They work very well, without him being around - surprise? That is one of the amazing things about this gym: it does offer a personal trainer but most of the people who use the gym do actually train themselves, by using these machines, day after day, without any trainer coaching them. The way the Original Yin equipment works is fool-proof....meaning you cannot NOT get the benefits from your training. All you have to do is use the machines, just do it. The more regularly, the better. Obvious principle. The Original Yin Qi Gong gym has changed my life and I would not want to imagine my days without it any more. Luckily I don't have to! Whenever I cross over the threshold I can leave the hectic, noisy city behind, relax to the bone, listen to beautiful gentle soft and healing music, sleep, meditate, pray, read, or simply be. I'm happy to recommend it. Check it out, whether you got problems or just want to get stronger, more handsome/beautiful, healthy....this IS the place that doesn't just promise but it actually delivers. And it's right here, in Vancouver. Lucky us. :-----)
