Qi Gong Therapy

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, qi is treated as the fundamental substance of the human body. Qi in its physiological sense constitutes, replenishes and nourishes the human body. Medical qigong can be divided into two main categories: internal qigong, which is practiced by the patients themselves to preserve and promote their own health, and external qigong, which is performed by a qigong practitioner to treat the patient according to their individual diagnosis. External qi gong effects the physical being (yin) by manipulating the yang energy. There are many styles and schools of qigong, some with motion and others without. Qigong can be practiced while sitting still, standing, or lying on the back or side.
