Testimonial
Two years ago, my hand hurt so much I could barely play guitar. I am a
singer-songwriter, performer, guitar teacher, and father. Many hours a day
playing my instrument plus the work of caring for my infant son took its
toll on my hands. I couldn’t play a barre chord without being in pain and
the hand feeling like it was going to give out. Holding my child in the bathtub
was torture. I was worried I might need to find a new line of work, or worse,
surgery. I went to an internist and an orthopedist, who took x-rays and saw
nothing wrong. They prescribed rest, which was not possible! I then began
receiving weekly hand treatments from Chisato, and while the results were
not immediate, they were remarkably effective, non-invasive, and required no
drugs or surgery. After a month of weekly treatments, I noticed strength and
life returning to my hand. After three months, barre chords stopped hurting.
After six months of treatment, my hand really felt good again. Now, two years
on, my hand may not be perfect, but it’s functional, strong, and pain-free.
I owe everything to Chisato for giving me my hand back.
Thank you so much Chisato!
