Medical Qigong:

Medical qigong is one of the four main branches of Chinese medicine, which include acupuncture, herbal therapy and tui na (oriental massage).  In fact, Qigong is the energetic foundation from which these other three modalities originated, and it works within the same energy channel (meridian) theory as in acupuncture.

Medical qigong consists in the cultivation of energy to specifically promote and preserve health and wellness.  It combines exercises, breathing techniques (qigong literally translates as "breath work" or "breath technique"), visualization and intent to improve health.

As part of your treatment, you receive training in specific qigong exercises with the objective of slowly enhancing your body's ability to store energy and achieve a smoother flow of "qi" that will assist you in your healing process.
