Self-reported before treatments
I experienced a stroke in March 2018. I have tried various treatments, and I have worked hard every day to do rehabilitation exercises and insisted on doing it. But I didn’t make progress.
Now my right side still has movement impairments. I feel stiffness, numbness and weakness in my right leg, arm, palm and fingers. My right shoulder and arm are sore. My fist can not tighten. I also have trouble walking and speaking. It is difficult for me to raise right leg. It is weak. I also slur words.
Diagnosis by The Body Harmony Therapy System: Post-stroke symptoms include stiffness, numbness and weakness in his right leg, arm, palm and fingers, trouble walking and speaking.
Self-reported the treatment results
By receiving Dr Zhiye Liu (Jim Liu)’s treatments, my progress is obvious, mainly in the following aspects:
Walking After the first treatment, my right leg was lighter immediately. The overall situation was better. Before the treatment, I could only walk 2000 meters a day, and then I would feel sore and heavy in my back. However, after the first treatment, I walked 2800 meters when I went home, an extra 800 meters more than usual. The morning after the first treatment, I walked 3,200 meters. It never happened since I got the stroke. After two treatments, I was able to walk 5 kilometers (more than twice as much as before treatment) for nearly 1 hour. My right knee can bend naturally. My right leg and toes can lift now. My waist and legs are stronger than before. My step frequency and step length have been improved. As well, my wife said that I look easy to walk now.
Speak Dr. Liu is a doctor who can do what he says. He improved my producing speech system to make my speech clearer and louder. Before treatments, I could not even speak long sentences clearly. However, after treatments, I could do tongue twisters clearly! When I speak, I can feel a vibration in my head, which I didn’t feel before.
Arms and fingers Before treatments, my right arm, wrist and fingers were weak and stiff, and my fist couldn’t clench. After treatments, my arms can swing naturally when I walk. My fists can clench, and my fingers can touch the palms of my hands. My entire right upper limb feels more flexible and stronger than before.
The flexibility and strength In the later stage of treatments, I could get on and off the treatment bed independently, easily, and fast. Before, my movements were very slow, and I had to ask for help to finish this movement. My back is straight now, it used to be arched.
My wife stayed with me during the whole treatment process, watching my improvements every day. She often couldn’t help laughing from time to time. I really appreciate Dr. Zhiye Liu who helped me speed up my recovery!
