LIU Lijia, 16 years old, a member of the Chinese National U17 Basketball Team On June 24, 2020 LIU Daqing (a former striker of the Chinese National Basketball Team) accompanied with his son LIU Lijia, came to Liaoyang Zhongjia TCM Clinic to see Dr Zhiye Liu (Jim Liu) from Zhuhai city.
Self-reported condition prior to the treatment:
I once fell from a height of more than 1 meter. Then I took part in training after a few days of rest. My lumbar was very painful when I was doing barbell squats, but I continued to practice enduring the pain. One month later, I returned to the Shenzhen Basketball Club to which I belonged, and asked the team doctor and physical training therapist to help me with treatments, but as soon as I did barbell squat or had physical contact in games, my lumbar hurt again. It also hurt when I bent forward slightly too.
After doing low back muscle exercises and taking rest for a few days, the back pain seemed to be somewhat relieved, but it would hurt again at any time.
I went to the Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University for an examination. The doctor’s diagnosis included unusual changes of T12, bilateral sacroiliac arthritis, lumbar spondylolisthesis, lumbar and sacral muscle strain, lumbar and sacral disc bulging, spina bifida and so on. The doctor recommended that I should not do back training and weight-bearing exercises and try not to bend over. But how could I play basketball without bending?! According to the doctor’s advice, taking surgery would be the only choice and after that, even if I never play basketball anymore, I can not live like an ordinary person in my whole life! My parents were originally members of the Chinese national basketball team. They asked other famous specialists and received similar disappointing recommendation.
They were under a lot of pressure after hearing the opinions of experts… A national teammate of my dad was forced to retire shortly after undergoing a lumbar surgery. We all felt anxious and helpless.
One of my aunts (HE Cihong) used to be a World Champion in swimming. She knew Dr Zhiye Liu had helped a lot of athletes fully recovered from serious injuries and recommended us to see Dr Liu before making the final decision.
My father immediately contacted Dr. Liu’s assistant, and accompanied me to Dr Liu’s clinic by the earliest flight.
After understanding my situation, Dr. Liu told us that the use of the Body Harmony Therapy System will not only cure my disease but will also allow me to be a healthy athlete. I can do whatever I want on the basketball court, and my physical fitness will be better than before the injury. Furthermore, there will be no other concerns and limitation throughout the treatment process.
Diagnosis from the Body Harmony Therapy System:
T12 deformity, bilateral sacroiliac arthritis, lumbar spondylolisthesis, lumbar and sacral muscle strain, lumbar and sacral disc bulging, spina bifida, etc.
Self-reported condition post to treatment:
Post-treatment testing after the 1st treatment, I could feel immediately that both legs were significantly stronger than before the treatment. I felt my lower back and whole body were much more relaxed than before. Dr Liu asked me to do whatever I wanted to do to test the result, just like I didn’t have any health problems. Both my father and I realized that all testing movements had been completed easier and better than before.
Before the treatment, I could not push my back forward as it hurt when I was sitting, but now I can do it. I can do it hard and I can use a strong explosive force to push forward. There is no discomfort.
That was after the third treatment when my mom arrived. After watching me complete some movements and exercises, she confirmed that I had obviously increased the range of motion and speed.
The fifth treatment was to increase my vital capacity. Right after the treatment, I ran up the stairs for a test immediately. After running a few times rounds, I felt my vital capacity was significantly improved and both legs felt light. I felt much easier when stair running and jumping. I can perform a standing toe touch now.
My parents and I were surprised by the amazing results every time. Only receiving five treatments, I believed I had fully recovered and was eager to go back to my basketball club. My physical condition made me confident in myself, not afraid of physical contact and collision, and not afraid of weight training anymore. Not only do I have no pain, but my back and legs are more powerful now. The leaping ability, flexibility and endurance of mine are a lot better than before the treatments, and my whole body is full of energy.
My parents and I are very grateful to Dr. Liu and his team for saving me!
What happened after LIU Lijia go back to his basketball club?
Lijia sent us some pictures and videos when he was in games after two and three months, to express his grateful again, and let us know his physical fitness has greatly improved. He has become a better athlete than pre-injury.
According to our call-back after a few months later, both Lijia and his parents were satisfied that Lijia had fully recovered and reached his historical personal best physical condition, regardless of explosive strength, flexibility, agility, stamina, leaping ability and speed!
