Dai Li was used to people’s content look after they received a massage from him. Right now, coach Ding looked the same.

”Nice, I like it. Knead harder,” Coach Ding murmured with comfort. ” I have been suffering from waist intervertebral disc protrusion for dozens of years. Those masseuses with little strength can’t even make me feel their kneading. I’m really jealous of you young people, you have so much strength, and your kneading is working...”

”Coach Ding, did you say that you have waist intervertebral disc protrusion?” Li asked casually.

”You know I’m an old man. Of course I have some problems. We coaches exercise everyday, we may not have the ‘three high diseases (Hypertension, Hyperglycemia and Hyperlipidemia),’ but we easily get cervical spondylopathy, scapulohumeral periarthritis, and arthritis.” Coach Ding was beginning to chat with Dai Li.

I’m using muscle relaxation right now. If I use rehabilitative massage, it might work on coach Ding’s disability! Li recalled the related theory about waist intervertebral disc protrusion.

Usually waist intervertebral disc protrusion is formed by a degenerative disease and lumbar injury. To cure this disease, in addition to surgery, there are some other treatments such as traction, physiotherapy, and massage. For patients with slight symptoms, surgery is not necessary. Some patients may only need to lie in bed for a few days to recover. If lying in bed is also a method for self-recovery, then my rehabilitative massage would probably be effective for coach Ding.

Thinking about this, Li changed his method. He shifted from muscle relaxation to rehabilitative massage.

”Why did you change techniques?” Coach Ding felt the difference right away. Li’s method had changed.

”This one is not as effective as the last one. I can’t feel the relaxation,” coach Ding pondered. Suddenly a sharp pain shot along his spine.

”Ow!” coach Ding shouted out. The pain came from his lumbar. He felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer. Even though it had only lasted a split second, coach Ding was sweating a lot. But once the pain was gone, he felt carefree. The coziness was indescribable.

”Awesome!” Coach Ding sighed with astonishment.

Li noticed that his empirical value increased as the system presented it. This meant that his rehabilitative massage indeed worked on waist intervertebral disc protrusion. Although it could not cure the disease, it could release coach Ding’s pain.

After a while, coach Ding stood up and twisted his waist. He even tried a set of rapid squats. But, to his surprise, he didn’t feel any lumbar pain.

”Hey, your massage is pretty cool! Previously I had to stoop slowly, but now even if I stoop hard I’m still OK!” said coach Ding.

”I suggest you not stoop too hard. You have to take care of your lumbar daily. If you stoop one more time, my effort could have been spent in vain,” Li said as he was about to wash his hands.

”Li!” Coach Ding suddenly stopped Li. ”Would you like to join the national team? I mean, get a formal job here?”

”Work for the national team?” Li was surprised. He never expected coach Ding to bring this up all of a sudden, let alone offer this great opportunity to him.
