Medical qigong therapy is an ancient form of Chinese energetic medicine, and one of the four main branches of traditional Chinese medicine, along with acupuncture, herbal medicine and medical massage. The goal of medical qigong therapy is to correct bio-energetic imbalances and blockages that occur as a result of poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, injuries, surgery, suppression of emotions, and aging. 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.
