The point is, the post above makes it out like this Massey charecter is doing some sort of awesome, speacial thing by useing OYD movement to help people with back problems. The post acts like some people with previously suposedly incurable back pain went in to him and he prescribes OYD and miracuasly they were cured.
I'm saying that my 11 year old daughter has the movements to do it too, and has prescribed some exercises that turned out to be some of the best therapy exercises for my back. Rest are all traditional Kung Fu.
Out of a 2 hour therapy routine originally precribe to me by my therapist, I still use only 2 exercises.
This means that Massey's accomplishmnet is not a big deal, as 'I' an untrained nobody can do the same thing, and so can a little kid from the 5th grade.
