Qigong is a form of therapeutic exercise used in Chinese Medicine. Qigong is a collective term covering over 4,000 different traditions of health exercise, meditation and martial arts power training which have evolved throughout China over the last 5,000 years. Qigong occupies a similar place in Chinese culture as Yoga does in Indian culture and is used as a hospital-based therapy in China.
Qigong have been extensively studied in both China and the West. Some of the benefits include:
■Reduced frailty and increased mobility of older people
■Increased bone density for osteoporosis sufferers
■Improved respiratory function for asthma sufferers
■Improved immune function in cancer victims
■Reduced stress-related behaviour problems
