"I was even able to work on my shoulders again after the accident I had in the past"

AMAZING; This was literally life-changing for me. 
A little back story, I was a Marial Artist a Green Belt. After my master passed away, I was given an honorary black belt by other high-ranking black belts at my best friend’s wedding. I was also a body builder; you can’t be a martial artist without having a strong and flexible body. I also enjoyed hiking and bicycling. That all came to an end after a motorhome rolled backwards. The motorhome crushed my low back two disk were destroyed & three vertebrae mushroomed from the pressure, there was also savvier nerve damage. The accident was in 1999 sense then I have had ten back and neck surgeries. For the nerve damage I have a cortical stimulator installed in my lower back. I am on my third one. 
Now for what you have done for me. On the very first lesson opening up the back to let it breath, I felt the pressure ease and pain flowing out of my body. That was the first day, every day after that was just as amazing. My gym work outs got better I was lifting more weights and feeling better throughout the day. Until my shoulders started acting up again from my Bursitis. I had to stop working that area for a couple of weeks, through that time I kept working out with Qi Gong. Yesterday October 3, 2025, I started working my shoulders again. I had to lower the weight by 40 pounds I did do three sets of 10, I was amazed I was even able to work on my shoulders. Normally, when my bursitis acts up, I can’t lift my arms above my shoulders. 
From now on, with the help of the PDF from your class, I am learning and memorizing every movement you have on your videos.
