"My work schedule was almost full every day after I started my own business. The workload was obviously different from my previous job, and my back pain worsened. Sometimes, I would get a massage before taking training classes because I needed to stand and talk for several hours straight, which often left me exhausted," he said.

"In life, your neck or lower back are the first to send warning signs to tell you that your body has reached a tipping point for tiredness."

At the beginning of 2020, the aches became acute, but the pain-relief plasters he used did not work well. On a friend's recommendation, Zhu visited the massage hospital for treatment.

"Before going there, I did not treat the pain as a disease (cervical spondylosis), and I found relief through massage. When I went to the hospital, the doctor examined me, did some medical imaging and quickly identified my problem. He explained the issue and helped me recover through massage. Unlike regular massage parlors, which cost hundreds of yuan but produce little obvious effect, the hospital has a relatively scientific rehabilitation program. After a period of treatment, my body showed signs of improvement," he said.

"I have therapy once or twice a week. In addition to young people, many older folk and minors visit the hospital for traditional Chinese massage therapy. Also, I work out with rehabilitation training exercises. In fact, the cure for these problems mainly depends on one's own efforts."
