Clinical Qigong at a Glance
Qigong is the oldest chronicled medical system in the world. It is classified as Complementary Integrated Medicine by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Qigong at its core, is defined as energy medicine. It is further defined as the exchange
of energy between the practitioner and the client.
A clinical Qigong practitioner will have a minimum of 500 hours of specific Clinical Qigong training. Additionally and depending on his training entity's curriculum, a practitioner will have additional training in other modalities such as Reflexology, Acupressure, Cupping, Tui Na, Guasha and others as a complement to their treatments.
Clinical Qigong follows the "Whole Body" concept. What this is, simply put, is that we look at not only the physical side your health, but we incorporate the emotional side as well. We all know that our conscious mind plays a very important part in our healing.
A standard Qigong treatment plan in many cases, may include low-impact exercises given to the client as "homework". These movements/exercises are used to continue the healing plan between visits.
See below for some illustrations of Qigong techniques.
