"Vein Pulling"

It's been 4 days..still so bruised.

I went for a "vein pulling" (direct translation from Cantonese) treatment on Friday.  I'd describe it as very strong and deep massage at targeted areas to help unblock '"vein passages".  Extremely painful..is probably an understatement.

I'm suppose to go back on Friday.. the sinseh said it won't hurt so much the second time. I'm not too sure.

He's so confident that he guarantees that my problem won't return once he's fixed it. I did feel immediate relief from the pains and tensions at the back of my left leg that has been bothering me and got from bad to worse since July.

Yes..back of legs..but he treated the front.  He said the blockage is at the front.  In fact..for RM40, he treated both legs from thighs to ankles, my back and the arms.  All inter-related he said.  So. I'm bruised all over.

It's still not 100% gone..tried running yesterday..don't feel the cramps..but then it was only a 1.65km run :D  Tried bodycombat on Sunday..there was some pain but less so.  

Well..no harm trying for only RM40.  Specialists would be charging at least RM90 if not hundreds.  My regular TCM doc or tit tar session will be around RM70..and from previous visits..I know they aren't that good with injuries.

I didn't plan this actually. In fact, didn't know such treatment existed until a friend posted about her experience in FB.  It's in Gombak..some place I'm totally not familiar with.  Friend was extremely helpful by offering  take me there.  The drive turned out to be quite easy.  So ..probably..its meant for me to be there after all.

I shall be brave and go for another round of torture this coming Friday.  Really hope that he can fix me up soon.  My friend's dad had years of backache..was cured after five visits.
