Despite the comic title, this is an extremely<br \/>\ndebilitating condition in which the whole posture is collapsed and disconnected.<\/p>\n<p>Two years of physiotherapy actually made the condition much worse by forcing me to wear<br \/>\ntilted shoes which threw my weight onto the sides of my feet and increased the collapse of<br \/>\nmy lower back and rounding of my shoulders. Daily \u2019exercises\u2019 in which I had to walk on<br \/>\nthe sides of my feet with my toes scrunched up caused them to be permanently twisted<br \/>\nand bunched. I could only wear shoes that were two sizes too large and even then, my<br \/>\nfeet would often bleed because of chafing.<\/p>\n<p>I could not run. Walking was tiring and would make my legs ache, and school Physical<br \/>\nEducation was torture. My teachers could not understand my clumsiness and lack of<br \/>\ncoordination and strength, and the other kids?\u2026 if you can\u2019t play football, you don\u2019t exist.<br \/>\nAs an adult, I discovered the Alexander Technique and Taiji and set about trying to undo<br \/>\nthe damage. I made progress, but it was always painfully slow. Four Alexander Teachers<br \/>\nand Three Taiji teachers later, I met Master Liu. I was immediately impressed by the fact<br \/>\nthat his Taiji worked!<\/p>\n<p>There was no doubt that this was absolutely real, authentic Taiji which inspired me to<br \/>\ncontinue. I later discovered that Master Liu is also a master of Tui Na which he used to<br \/>\ncure a stiff shoulder pain that I had suffered for several months.<\/p>\n<p>His teaching caused my Taiji to progress quickly and the rate of change of my body began<br \/>\nto accelerate!<\/p>\n<p>This change has been exponential. I now have arches in my feet! My lower back has<br \/>\nchanged dramatically. My upper spine now has an upward direction. My shoulders are<br \/>\nmore relaxed and connected and my hand coordination is much improved.<\/p>\n<p>Every single week, I see huge changes as my Taiji and my posture improve and this<br \/>\nimprovement has helped everything else that I do. Whether playing the guitar or singing or<br \/>\nskiing or sat at the computer or brushing my teeth, my whole body from head to toe is<br \/>\neasier, more comfortable, more relaxed and more in control.<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend anyone to learn Taiji from Master Liu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Tim D<\/p>\n<div class=\"newspaper-x-tags\"><strong>TAGS: <\/strong><span><a
