Qi Gong

Qi is "vital energy", and Gong is "time and effort". Using Qi Gong, practitioners are able to focus the mind on the body's internal state, identify areas that are out of balance and then channel the body's energy to heal itself. Regular practice of Qi Gong will not only tone up and change your body, but it will also make you fit and help you to heal yourself. Qi Gong practice helps to replenish your vital energy, keeping you healthy and making you more effective in your work.

As a Qi Gong practitioner, it can also be useful to be able to recommend exercises to patients as part of a treatment and rehabilitation plan. With regular daily practice, you can increase flexibility and reduce pain significantly. Providing movements are tailored to an individual, Qi Gong can be an empowering form of therapy.
