Main35 years of unresolved back pain in France, a new life in Korea

<An interview with Mr. François Viard>



Francois Viard (57, finance director of Chamonix Golf Club), who worked as a ski instructor
for decades in Chamonix, southern France, has been suffering from pain
since he hurts his back while skiing 35 years ago.

He was told that surgery is not required for his current condition and was only advised to take painkillers
or get physical therapy and a good rest if he feels hard.
He has never received any causal treatment

"The doctors only checked if the surgery was necessary or not," 
"They didn't seem to care at all about the quality of my life," he said.

Then, he got to know one of the Korean LPGA players had the back surgery earlier this year and
could play golf again without much difficulty after surgery.

After that, he visited Wooridul hospital.
