What is Qigong Therapy?

Qigong Therapy, also known as Qigong Healing, harnesses the ancient art of Qigong (Chi Kung) to address sickness and restore health. By balancing energy within the body, this time-honoured practice offers a holistic approach to wellness.

The Core Principle: One Illness, One Cause

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), all illness stems from a single root cause: an energy imbalance, or yin/yang disharmony. According to TCM, the human body is interwoven with a network of energy channels known as meridians. These meridians facilitate the flow of energy (Qi) throughout the body, powering everything from the beating of your heart to the endurance needed to run a marathon.

When these channels become blocked, energy imbalances occur, depriving some areas of energy while overwhelming others. This disruption manifests as sickness and disease.

Treating the Person, Not the Illness

Qigong Therapy focuses on treating the individual rather than the illness. Through personalised Qigong exercises, we target blocked energy pathways, helping to clear obstructions and restore balance. These exercises may work holistically or address specific issues.

Patients are encouraged to practice these exercises diligently, typically twice a day. Over time, this consistent effort helps to remove blockages and supports the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

The Power of Self-Healing

Consider this: every single cell in your body is replaced within a year, with many regenerating even faster. This natural process of renewal gives the body an incredible ability to heal itself. However, when the body’s energy system is out of balance, this innate capability is compromised.

Qigong Therapy helps to reactivate and optimise the body’s self-healing mechanisms. Having been practiced for over 1,500 years, it remains as relevant as ever, especially in today’s fast-paced, stress-filled world.
