Leg Numbness Subsides With Daily TCC Practice
By: Alberta E. Osborne
student of Leona B. Dees, Albuquerque, NM
About a year ago, I woke up one morning and my right lower leg tingled (like when a part of your body goes to sleep). Then, my right foot became numb and soon afterwards my left foot became numb. They never came back to their natural state of feeling alive.
I saw on the bulletin board … there was going to be a class on T’ai Chi Chih. I signed up for it.
After my second class, I noticed the feet began to come alive and every class subsequently they improved greatly. There are times when my left foot feels completely free from numbness and heaviness. … as a whole, I would say I was easily 85 percent better. I practice every day at home.
This condition was not caused by diabetes. Dr. Borgeson confirmed that with a test I took last July. They [the doctors] gave me no direction as to how to overcome this circulation disorder.
I have to give credit to the dear Lord Jesus Christ for opening the door to T’ai Chi Chih, and to Leona B. Dees for her unselfishness in teaching us TCC. Thank you, Justin Stone, for your tireless work in bringing forth TCC.
