A lot of people I know seem to have a body worker that they claim works miracles. I have seen some of them over the years and their work, while perfectly good, has never even approached the miraculous. My miracle worker is Raku Loren. A few weeks ago I had a 3 day incident with my lower back that culminated with me in so much pain that I could not stand up straight, and I literally had to crawl to the bathroom when I got up in the morning. When I came to see Raku later that day, I basically collapsed onto his massage table because the pain was so intense that I couldn’t lower myself down gently. Raku worked on me for about an hour. When I got up, I was still in a lot of pain and had use a cane to walk up the stairs, but he told me that in an hour or two I would probably start to feel my lower back loosen up and the pain would ease. Lo and behold, about 90 minutes later I noticed that the pain seemed to be largely gone, and half an hour later when I dared to try to roll off of my bed, I was able to stand up and walk relatively pain free. I saw Raku the next morning for another session, at the end of which it was almost as if the whole incident with my back had never happened. I don’t know quite how he did it, but boy is he skillful, and a really nice guy to boot.
