In 1996, while working with a patient in the dentist&#8217;s chair, I all of a sudden got trouble with my neck. The pain was difficult but I continued to work, but it did not disappear. Eventually the pain spread down my arm, so that I had to stop working. I started to take strong painkillers, but that did not help.<\/p>\n<p>I saw an acupressurist and that was the only treatment to bring me a couple of hours of relief from the pain.<\/p>\n<p>I asked my acupuncturist if he knew of anything that I could do myself, and he advised me to try a Qigong course.<\/p>\n<p>I joined my first Weekend Course in 1997. On the Weekend Course I got Qi regulation on my neck and it had effect, but since it was cold outdoors, it snapped back again when I walked out. After the Weekend Course while on my way to the Monday Evening Training, I discovered that the position of my feet had changed, my feet were parallel to each other.<\/p>\n<p>During 1997 after the Summer Course my neck and back were completely free of pain for about six months, but eventually the pain returned. I joined more courses, Summer Courses and that had an influence on my neck and lumbar area. Dun Qiang made the lumbar area relax. I do not think so much about my lumbar area now since it is rather free of pain.<\/p>\n<p>During a two-day camp holiday I happened to fall asleep without any training. Back home, when getting out of bed, I got stabbing pain in my lumbar area. That goes to show that it is important to practise on a continuous basis. By training for one and a half or two hours every day, I am able to keep myself free of pain.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays I sleep for six hours instead of eight, and I also feel more energetic and alert when I come home from work. Before, I could fall asleep already when I got home. I have also resumed my work as a dentist and it works rather well as long as I do not sit too long in static, uncomfortable positions. I do not take any pain killers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christer Ekl\u00f6f<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/stu-christereklofliten2.jpg\" alt=\"Christer can manage his back problems\" style=\"border: 0; float: left;\" \/>Christer Ekl\u00f6f, a dentist, tells us about his back and neck problems and how he is able to deal with them through his Qigong training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-my-story","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Jonny Eliasson","author_link":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/author\/jonny\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22241"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23058,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22241\/revisions\/23058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
