Medical Qigong

Medical Qigong is a traditional Chinese treatment that combines hands-on and hands-off techniques that balance the flow of qi (energy) through the body, move and relieve qi blockages, and improve circulation. Qigong is also a combination of timed breathing and gentle flowing movements, meditation, visualization, and conscious intent, all working together to achieve an integrated adjustment of mind and body in order to better cultivate, circulate, and balance qi, or life force. Qigong theory is the basis of traditional Chinese medicine and is used to treat many serious illnesses, as well as for relaxation. Rather than addressing your symptoms (as Western medicine tends to do), Medical Qi Gong addresses your ailment at its very source by healing your entire being — mentally, emotionally and physically.

By integrating physical postures, breathing techniques, and focused intention, people can maintain their health, heal their bodies, calm their minds, and reconnect with their spirit. The gentle, rhythmic movements of Qigong reduce stress, build stamina, increase vitality, and enhance their immune system. It has also been found to improve cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic and digestive functions. Qigong’s great appeal is that everyone can benefit, regardless of ability, age, belief system, or life circumstances.
