hi @pressurepointau Chirs! Your article is really interesting and your Bottle Brush Flower reminded me of what I saw in Toowoomba back in 2003!
Fond memories those were. :)
I find your topics are going to be really interesting especially for the health and exercise therapy as my dad is suffering Foot Drop Syndrome (I am not sure if you have heard of it) and the doctors here just ask him to keep moving with cycling exercises and he already lost his thumbs mobility.
There isn't much acupuncture can do now as my dad had visited quite a number of sensei.
I will follow your profile to see more future posts of yours.
For me, I too am quite new to Steemit and right now I am testing new topics like introducing the Chinese characters discovery. Since you know Weng Chun and other Chinese martial arts, I am pretty sure you recognise Chinese characters as well; so it would be a great honour if you would follow my profile too and do give some feedback on what you think of my posts as well.
Take care and wish you success here in Steemit!
Followed! @littlenewthings . Did you mean Foot Drop syndrome ? , if so yes it's one of those things that Acupuncture has little effect on. but that is one of the reasons i am still studying. There are so many pathologies and disorders we really do not understand very well at all. wishing your father all the best in finding a successful treatment or management for it. Toowomba, it has been a long time since i was there last!. such a nice place to visit.
Chinese language has to be one of the most difficult things i have studied. considering there are 4000 characters that a child must know by the end of their schooling. its quite a challenge for an adult to study. But thoroughly interesting!
Yes, Foot Drop Syndrome (I have rectified it. Thanks @pressurepointau ). The doctor only told my dad to "live happily, and take your Vit B"
Yes, I used to really hated memorising Chinese Characters, but up till the recent years I have discovered this ancient language is really more than meets the eye. Every word was articulately designed to the intended description and expression, which now really make more sense and excitement for me. I have posted 3 posts now and do let me know how you feel in my explanation and will that encourage you to learn more (or even encourage others to learn)
