Priest C\u0103t\u0103lin Mure\u0219, who serves at the Holy Great Martyr Menas Church in Suceava, is a physiotherapist in his spare time. At his ordination to the priesthood, he prayed to God to be able to heal sick people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Then, in 1992, I was thinking of helping them through prayer, thinking that I would pray for the sick and God would heal them. But over the years, I realized that the gift I received for what I asked for is to help them through this therapy, put my back and mind to work, and not give orders to God. Practically, when I massage them, I kneel next to each one for about an hour. I pray for them and know that I am helping them with God’s help and work, ” the priest from Suceava told local journalists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The priest learned Yumeiho therapy, a combination of several Japanese and Chinese treatments that restore the human body to the balance lost due to wrong posture at work.<\/p>\n

The priest confesses that he does not cure the pain but restores the body’s equilibrium, from which point the healing begins.<\/p>\n

Physiotherapy does not replace physician-prescribed medical treatment but complements it for the patient’s recovery.<\/p>\n
