Whole-Body Pain Management

My front-of-thigh (quadriceps) pain has been going on for 2 years. Seeking doctors and medicine got no results. This time I came to attend Professor Yu's pain-management course — not only did I learn a lot of medical knowledge, but Professor Yu also personally treated me multiple times, taught me the techniques, treated my leg — and now my leg is basically well.

Professor Yu's medical skill is truly "妙手回春" (skillful hands bring spring back to the withered). Grateful for Professor Yu's great kindness 🙏🙏🙏

First, thank you so much to Professor Cheng, Professor Yu, and Teacher Yu for your great love, professionalism, and thoughtfulness in kneading these complex knowledge and techniques into something even beginners like us can understand and learn a few moves of. This learning has brought me so many gains!

I especially want to thank Teacher Yu — with what seemed like just a few simple needles, my problem of being unable to open my right thigh outward for two years has been relieved a great deal. I basically feel no pain now. I can't help but marvel at how magical the Pi needle is — and feel grateful to have met a teacher like this!

Especially Teacher Yu — sacrificing his rest time without complaint to help us relieve our pain — his patience and love are truly admirable 🌹🌹🌹

Thank you Professor Cheng for creating this offline learning opportunity for us! Thank you Teacher Yu for dedicating your return-to-China time to teach us! Love you all ❤️❤️❤️

Last night Teacher Yu needled my left knee for me. That knee has had a torn meniscus, synovitis, and effusion for nearly ten years. Whenever I'm careless it will spontaneously develop aseptic inflammation and swell up several times its size, and I can't walk. Normally going down stairs I have to sidestep one step at a time like a robot — very heavy and stuck.

But after last night's needling my knee immediately felt much lighter — I tested going down stairs and it was much smoother. And last night I walked along Liyang Old Street for over an hour without feeling tired or in pain. The difference between the left and right legs is very obvious — the leg that wasn't needled walks like a lid is being pressed down on it, dragging.

Truly amazing needling technique. I've had many types of needling done before and none worked. Grateful, Dr. Yu 🙏🙏🌹🌹

Sub-case 1 — mother's lower back and inner shin: A few days ago I started using essential oils to massage my mother's lower-back pressure points — palpation felt like spinous nerve inflammation. Then I used the Pi-needle "touch technique." She said she felt a "releasing" sensation. I now do this for her once a day. On both sides of her inner tibia, about the lower third near the ankle — roughly 15 cm of clear pressure points — I used essential-oil massage + Pi-needle touch technique + gua sha + moxibustion. Feedback: the pin-prick pain in her little toe is gone.

Sub-case 2 — right knee "electric release": Pressing the outside of his right knee at the "knee eye" spot produced clear pain, and palpation revealed scar tissue. Walking would trigger sudden pain and weakness — he could only walk with a limp. Yesterday I started giving him 5 minutes of essential-oil massage + Pi-needle touch technique. He said it was amazing — like an electric release. Today there was no pain.

Sub-case 3 — son's classmate's 3-week ankle sprain: Both inner ankles near the arch had pressure points. I did 5 minutes of essential-oil massage — pain clearly lessened — then 5 minutes of Pi-needle touch technique.

Thanks to Professor Cheng and Dr. Yu for a course full of substance, full of energy, and full of love — I've benefited so much, it's hard to put into words.

Let me share: during the course I used the Pi needle to fix two of my own pressure points — on the inside of my leg and the inside of my knee joint. To this day they don't hurt anymore — so amazing! (Normally I didn't feel pain there, but during class I could feel knots — many of them — and pressing hurt.) I love experimenting on myself, and I already plan to continue with Pi-needle work on the inside of my leg and to work on my under-eye bags too.

The method Dr. Yu teaches is simple and very easy to pick up. From now on I'll carry the Pi needle with me, the same way I carry essential oils 😊

Grateful for the great love and dedication of Professor Cheng's whole family — I will definitely practice this seriously. — Wendy

Today I treated one of my clients, an elderly woman in her 80s. She said she had pain around her knees and had difficulty going up and down stairs. When I palpated her I found edema in her lower legs, along with many small nodules. Pressing from the outside of the knee inward gave her a sore, aching pain.

Because time was limited, I first applied essential oils, then massaged by hand. The nodules in her lower leg disappeared; the small nodules and cord-like structures beneath the knee also disappeared. She stood up and said it was indeed much better, and moved her lower leg around a bit.

Truly: learn once and you can do it; apply once and it works 👍

Thank you Dr. Yu — last night and this morning I used the skin needle (皮针) to work on my eye-bag area. So far I feel it's very effective 😁😁😁 @Dr. Yu

@Dr. Yu — Teacher Yu, I really did try it. My mother was amazed and said: "How are you this professional? After you retire you could open a shop!" 😏

You need to know — before I gave her the treatment, she was saying she had dizziness, headache, eye-socket pressure, and strange sweating 😏

The next day she told me she didn't dream that night 😁. She's on medication for anxiety and depression, and even relies on two kinds of sleeping pills to sleep (normally she wakes constantly and has heavy dreams).

Last night when I got home, she came looking for me and asked me to massage her head — that made me feel really accomplished.

Also — under my guidance, my mother now knows how to palpate the hard lumps and nodules on her own legs, and she massages herself with oils regularly.
