Chinese Medical Qigong Therapy

Chinese Medical Qigong Therapy (CMQT) is an ancient form of energetic medicine originating from China. It is one of the four main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and medical massage. The main focus of CMQT is in balancing the Bio-electromagnetic energy (Qi) and restoring harmony in Yin-Yang.

According to TCM thought, disruptions in this bio-electromagnetic energy commonly occur throughout our lifetime as a result of poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, physical injuries, suppressed emotions, and aging. The goal of CMQT is to correct these bio-energetic imbalances and blockages. This enables the body to strengthen and regulate the internal organs, the nervous system and the immune system, relieve pain, regulate hormones, and strengthen and release deep-seated emotions and stress.

Medical qigong therapy consists of treatment by a practitioner to regulate the client's qi. After the treatment the client will be given qigong prescriptions to assist in their ongoing healing. Tailored specifically to the client medical qigong exercises use physical movement, breathing methods and mental intention to correct and restore the function in the body.

Medical qigong is a complete system of health care that recognizes the root causes of symptoms or disease, and treats the client as a whole. Practiced as an excellent adjunct to Western medicine, Chinese medicine may successfully treat people with conditions which Western medicine finds resistant or ambiguous.

In China and more recently in the United States, doctors have applied qigong in hospitals and clinics to treat individuals suffering from a variety of ailments. Medical qigong therapy and prescriptions can be used to treat people with cancer and help reduce or eliminate side effects from radiation and chemotherapy. It will help in treating cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease and post-stroke syndrome. It is especially useful in treating any kind of chronic pain, and chronic disorders of the digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems.
