Treatment received

1st treatment

Tone all muscle inbalance and manipulate shortening muscles. Some muscles are extremely tight probably because of overused and a compensation of the injury.

During the treatment, he started feeling "more blood flow to the area". which hasn't happened for more that 2 years.

After 90 minutes, sciatic prblem cannot be felt at all and feels a lot better. The leg length is OK as the photo shown below.
