Qigong Therapy
What is Qigong
Qigong (pronounced chee-gung) means to work with vital energy. It is a healing practice that originated in China and dates back to 2000 years ago. Qigong is a somatic (body-based) approach to health and wellness and is also considered an embodied practice because it draws the focus into the body. Concentration, visualization, and breathwork are combined with or without gentle movements, resulting in multiple health benefits.
