ABOUT

I am a traditional bone-setting and tuina master with forty years of clinical practice rooted in the Shanghai school of manual therapy. My career began as an apprentice at the Shanghai Municipal TCM Hospital, where I studied under legendary practitioners who carried forward techniques dating back centuries. Over four decades, I have treated tens of thousands of patients with musculoskeletal disorders, earning recognition as an Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritor for my mastery of traditional Chinese orthopedic manual techniques. My expertise encompasses the full spectrum of spinal and joint disorders, with particular depth in cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, and post-surgical rehabilitation. The Shanghai school of bone-setting is distinguished by its integration of precise anatomical knowledge with traditional diagnostic methods including palpation, observation of movement patterns, and constitutional assessment. I combine classical manipulation techniques with specialized tuina protocols that I have refined over decades of practice to address both structural misalignment and the underlying qi and blood stasis. I have dedicated my later career to ensuring these techniques are not lost to future generations, training dozens of apprentices and collaborating with academic institutions to document and standardize our methods. On this platform, I offer my decades of accumulated clinical wisdom to those seeking guidance for complex musculoskeletal conditions, particularly cases that have not responded adequately to surgery or conventional rehabilitation. I believe that the traditional Chinese approach to orthopedic care offers unique insights that complement modern medicine.

CASE EVIDENCE

Case · anonymized

I treated a 55-year-old office worker with severe cervical spondylosis causing numbness in both arms and difficulty walking, who was advised to undergo spinal surgery. Through a course of twenty specialized bone-setting and tuina sessions targeting the cervical vertebrae and associated soft tissues, I restored normal sensation and mobility without surgical intervention. Verified by Rebirthealth.

Case · anonymized

I managed the rehabilitation of a 40-year-old athlete who had undergone lumbar disc surgery but continued to experience significant pain and stiffness six months post-operation. Using my refined tuina protocols combined with traditional herbal poultices, I helped him return to full athletic activity within four months of starting treatment. Verified by Rebirthealth.

Case · anonymized

I consulted on the case of a 68-year-old retiree with multilevel lumbar disc herniation and spinal stenosis causing severe lower back pain and bilateral sciatica. Through careful sequential manipulation and targeted tuina over three months, I achieved substantial pain relief and functional improvement that allowed her to resume daily activities independently. Verified by Rebirthealth.

Case · anonymized

I treated a 35-year-old programmer with chronic cervicogenic headaches and upper back pain from prolonged computer use, unresponsive to physical therapy and pain medication. My bone-setting techniques addressing thoracic and cervical joint restrictions, combined with postural guidance, eliminated his headaches within six weeks. Verified by Rebirthealth.
