having battled with chronic knee pains for slightly over a year, i've decided to seek alternative treatment for it.
my colleagues recommended me to visit this sinseh all the way in Bishan. they say he's good, he treated my colleagues' knee problems to full recovery before.
my dad went with me the first time, said he want to check out the authenticity of the sinseh. once my dad entered the clinic, he's bought over by the sinseh already. cuz he said he recognised the sinseh from the papers.
so i got treated for my knees and my dad got treated for his tennis elbow. and we both ended up getting "tak kor yok" by the sinseh.
we took a cab right outside the clinic, and the taxi uncle thought we father-daughter participated in a fight together hence the simulataneous injuries. ahahahhaa. hilarious~
the sinseh treated my right knee first cuz its more severe, then moved on to the left knee. he will do accupuncture on my knees, 5 needles each knee, then put some low currents through 2 of the needles each knee. then after 20min he will remove the currents and needles, do some tui na on the knees, then ba guan about 2 each knee, then tak kor yok. kor yok cannot touch water, remove the next day with warm water.
i wont say the treatment process is not painful at all, its common to sustain bruises from the ba guan and needles. but the pain during treatment is better that i expected, and its nothing compared to the chronic knee pain that i have been enduring for the past 1+year.
$50 per session, once a week, not cheap but i believe its worth it cuz i visited him 4x so far and my knees dont hurt already. cant really tell whether they have fully recovered until i resume yoga. but i remain hopeful that this alternative treatment will work!
sometimes if my knees dont hurt that much after treatment, i will take train home. and last week some hippie guy gave up his seat for me on the train! wahahahaha coool~~
