If you can’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to get in touch and ask away.
Can I train Qigong if I have any injuries?
The answer depends to the grade of your injury. Is it an old injury or is it something that happened to you a week ago? Is it an injury that still hurts? If you experience pain when standing with your both feet on the ground, weight equally distributed, then you can not practice Qigong. The best thing is to send me a message and I would evaluate the situation. However, it is your doctor and/or physiotherapist that will finally decide if you can join a Qigong class.
Can Qigong Cure Certain Health Conditions?
Qigong represents one of the pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine. There are still clinics in China that cure patients only applying Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, Qigong is rather seen in our modern world as a part of an integrative treatment plan. Qigong benefits greatly your health by improving blood circulation, which has a huge impact on every single organ, muscle and bone. It is proven to improve migraines, hormonal balance, gastrointestinal issues. It can relieve and improve any kind of problems originating from the spine, low back, neck and shoulders.
