In the past, I underwent surgery for a herniated disc. After consulting various specialists, I came into contact with Chinese acupuncture, which I found to be highly effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although I no longer had specific complaints, I remained very cautious with my back. Through my employer, I was introduced to Shiatsu \u2014 a form of alternative therapy that was new to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Louis Casteelen initially treated my back with great care. Over time, the treatments became a bit more intense, but they were always manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using a combination of hand pressure and kneading techniques, Louis helped me use my back more effectively. At the same time, he released other blockages in my body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the fact that the treatments aren\u2019t always gentle, it\u2019s quite remarkable that I often fall asleep during them \u2014 they\u2019re so calming that I\u2019m not even aware he\u2019s still working on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I now visit him every two weeks for maintenance, for several reasons. First, to prevent potential issues. Second, because the treatments are deeply relaxing and have made me more aware of how I can work on my body myself using the techniques he\u2019s taught me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A third reason is that, alongside my regular job, I also take on other responsibilities and administrative roles. During \u2014 and especially right after \u2014 a treatment, I feel a wave of positive energy throughout my body, which gives me the boost I need to keep going. And that\u2019s exactly what I want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[149],"class_list":["post-33719","ervaring","type-ervaring","status-publish","hentry","category-back-complaints"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
