Description
Book Introduction
Living as a physical therapist in South Korea.
It's not easy.
it's tough.
Anger may well up.
Despite this, there are 50,000 physical therapists in South Korea.
Even today, I live with patients suffering in the clinic.

them.
This is the story about them told by a physical therapist.
This book is about the experiences and feelings I had while living as a physical therapist in Korea, and the stories I wanted to tell.
About medical misconceptions about spinal diseases.
About the professional characteristics and future prospects of physical therapists.
And a sharp criticism of the medical community that monopolizes medical power.
This is not a piece of trash that one spews out late at night in a bar, like lamenting one's fate. Rather, it is a protest from an intellectual with a scholarly conscience about the problems of modern medicine and the medical community that monopolizes medical power.

I hope that this book will bring about some positive change in physical therapy for the Korean people, serve as a role model for fellow physical therapists, and provide an opportunity for self-reflection.
Lastly, I hope this will serve as a wake-up call for doctors and media outlets that randomly spew out incorrect medical information.
I sincerely hope that this book will provide an opportunity for reflection on the professional value of physical therapists and the shortcomings of modern medicine.

Publisher's Review
“Don’t have spinal surgery!” Is it possible to recover without surgery by just stretching the muscles?
Secrets about the spine from a physiotherapist with a PhD and a university professor background

Among the diseases that can occur regardless of age among modern people suffering from various diseases, there is one that has a huge impact on daily life.
These are various spinal diseases, shoulder pain, and leg pain.
Modern medicine recommends surgery, but the author says it is absolutely unnecessary.
This is because the cause remains and it is impossible to know when it will recur, as it only treats the result.
In fact, there are many cases where disc surgery is performed but the herniation relapses and requires additional surgery.
So, what can we do if daily life is difficult right now? The author argues that the cause of these conditions lies in none other than muscles.
I hope that you will gain a proper understanding of your body through the extensive muscle knowledge and actual clinical experience of a physical therapist with a university professor background who is confident that there is not a single disease caused by weak muscles and that surgery is absolutely unnecessary.
And through this book, let's break down the prejudices about physical therapy and delve into the current state of modern medicine.
