While enjoying a spa day with some friends recently, my masseuse took one look at me and could immediately tell how much work my left shoulder needed. Sitting at my desk, sleeping in strange positions, and carrying heavy purses had definitely taken its toll on my poor muscles, but until that moment, I hadn't realized just how bad it had gotten. Thankfully, he was very skilled at soothing away all the knots.
Pretty much everyone I know has some form of the exact same problem. The cause of the aches and pains may differ from person to person, but we all still have that same tell-tale hunch. For 17-year-old Muntathar, it was much worse than the nagging strain the rest of us usually endure on a daily basis. After pulling a particularly stubborn tree root from the ground, the young man was in such agony that he was forced to keep his back curled into a coil and couldn't even walk for more than a short period of time.
Despite multiple trips to various doctors, he was at a loss for a cure and spent three months bound to his bed suffering the excruciating pain. That's when he discovered Dr. Ian, a chiropractor in Australia who specializes in a style of treatment known as the Gonstead technique. He and his dad got on a plane as soon as possible, hoping to find a solution.
Where other physicians were too afraid to even touch Muntathar, Dr. Ian spent two weeks patiently working on the teen's heartbreaking case.
Take a look below to see the moment Muntathar finally stands tall.
