【Testimony】
My daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis when she was in the 2nd grade.
As soon as she was diagnosed we regularly visited an osteopathic clinic in Kagawa prefecture for 6 years where many people with scoliosis go, but there was no improvement.
we also tried other clinics but these clinics were far away from where we live.
Still, we were not able to see any improvement.
The hospital we went to told us that she should have surgery in that summer because her scoliosis was already 70 degrees.
As parents, we spent many sleepless nights worrying about what would become of our daughter is here condition continued to worsen and why none of the treatments the clinic had to offer was helping.. Still we thought that we, as parents, should never give up, so we continued to search and one day while searching the internet we found Sokuwan Yoga.
On the day we went to the class, the degree of my daughters scoliosis had worsened to 75 degrees.
She was in constant pain.
Here first lesson was from 10am to 5pm all the while being guided by the careful instruction of the teacher, Misato.
My daughter worked very hard at each lesson and exercise all the while thinking that if this works then she wouldn’t have go through a painful and agonizing surgery.
The instructor, Misato, carefully explained about the body system and bone structures and how they are affected by scoliosis.
Our daughter and I learned so many different aspects of this disease that other doctors never explained to us .
The lesson ended by 5pm, and when we x-rayed the curvature of her backbone it was 55 degree.
We couldn’t believe that a single lesson could result in this level of improvement, we were so impressed!
Our daughtercontinued to perform the Yoga moves and exercises that she was taught for one month at home.
By the 2nd time we took the Yoga lesson, her curvature was down to only 53 degrees.
I totally believe that Sokuwan Yoga is the only treatment for scoliosis.
I want to thank Misato, her assistant instructor and her family for taking such good care of us. Also the cozy classroom environment is very fitting to us.
I really hope more people with scoliosis have a chance to attend a Sokuwan Yoga class.
I am so very thankful for it.
Again, I give special thanks to the instructor, Misato.
My daughter and I will do our best to continue the yoga exercises and hope to see more improvement in the future.
