Jim Cutsinger experienced a serious disc injury at 14 that triggered degenerative joint disease and chronic pain throughout his spine. As a result of this, he embarked on a life time study of healing practices. At 48 years old he overcame 6 years of severe carpal tunnel syndrome with 3 days of exercise! At 58 he overcame 44 years of back pain and restricted mobility through adding new teachings to the Qigong practice he had been doing for 15 years. Unexpectedly what he learned then unleashed the energy and capacities of an athlete. Join us to learn what he discovered. Learn the practices that not only heal but also increase your overall health and vitality regardless of illness or age.
