Tigertiger, yep certain exercises are whats needed. I was a mess with back pain last year. Had about 5 sessions with a physio, he taught me what i needed to do. after about6 weeks i felt great. I need to do the exercises regularly though.

anybody? my friend has been told by her 'doctor' that she'll need surgery for lower back pain. ridiculous.

Are there any physios in kunming?

jadorechocolate, yes that's waht i did.

and yes you will have to leave china to get it processed. It took me about 6 months here of nonsense before i finally got it.

You'll prob be sent to hong kong, but recently i heard of a teacher going to Hk for this and was told "HK is in china, we cant do it here". so make sure your school are on the ball.

Yeah I arrived on a tourist visa and did my health check here in Kunming.

This is the clinic, maybe ask your school to call them:
