Benefits:
There are several reasons for choosing Medical Qigong therapy as your treatment method.
First, Medical Qigong therapy is non-invasive as compared to acupuncture; some sessions don’t even require physical contact! For adults and children who don’t like acupuncture, Medical Qigong therapy offers them a choice of Chinese medical treatment.
Second, in most Medical Qigong treatment sessions, the patient is given a customized Qigong exercise prescription for home practice. In many cases, patients can speed their recovery through personalized Qigong “physical therapy” practice; often this is critical to healing. Many diseases and health problems today are caused by lack of exercise. Qigong offers a safe and effective exercise practice that requires no equipment or fitness center membership.
Qigong relaxation techniques give patients a new and powerful way of dealing with their stress, a method that is free from side effects and costs nothing other than the initial cost of training.
Thirdly, some conditions that don’t respond to Western medicine, acupuncture, or herbal therapy can be treated most effectively through Medical Qigong therapy, making it the modality of first choice.
Medical Qigong can be divided into three categories:
- physical therapy exercises for building Qi and healing specific disorders.
- relaxation methods for guiding the Qi within, and for stress management.
- external Qi healing (Wai Qi Liao Fa) for emitting Qi to heal others.
Today there are hundreds of Medical Qigong hospitals and clinics throughout China, treating such problems as breast and ovarian tumors and cysts, paraplegia and hemiplegia, muscular atrophy, stress and insomnia, immune deficiency disorders, migraine headaches, certain types of cancer and pain.
You can expect to pay $190 for the first treatment and $145 per hour of treatment after. Typically treatment sessions last 1.5 hours for a new patient, and between 45 minutes to 1 hour for follow-up sessions, including intake and patient progress updates, treatment, and training in personalized Qigong exercise prescriptions especially for you, your unique constitution, and your goals for treatment.
