Jakub Tepper described six months of pain, inflammation, and fluid accumulation in his knee. As he wrote, the problems began during his stay in Japan, where he walked a lot up and down stairs. In Poland, he visited two physiotherapists and an orthopedist, and also had an MRI done. According to his account, the visits and tests cost him several thousand zlotys in total, and previous treatments provided only short-lived relief. Tepper wrote that during his stay in Japan, he accidentally ended up with a physiotherapist who, after a conversation and brief examination, believed that the problem might stem from pushing the hips forward and improper loading of the legs while walking. The therapist advised him to change the way he placed his feet and went up the stairs, as well as to work on his posture; he also performed massage and stretching. The visit cost 125 zlotys. The author reported that after the meeting, he felt significant relief, and the pain and inflammation almost disappeared. He noted that he did not want to draw categorical conclusions from a single case, but wrote that the Japanese physiotherapist identified the cause of his complaints in just a few minutes. #fizjoterapia #medycyna #zdrowie (translated)
