Despite the fact that Qi Gong (or Chi Kung) has been around for nearly 4,000 years by some estimations, there is still tremendous mystery and misunderstanding. What is accurate is that scientific measurement and medical trials and research have only in the last few decades even began on the subject, especially here in the U.S.

What is often overlooked as more research is done into qigong and its health benefits, is that at its most base level, there is very little disagreement from eastern or western medical practitioners that this practice can increase range of motion, help induce relaxation, improves blood oxygen saturation which can help boost the immune system among other things, and improves joint flexibility and resilience.

For more information on qigong and recent research, here are a few good links:
American Journal of Chinese Medicine
Oxford Journals

I encourage people of all ages to find a good qigong instructor and give a few lessons a try! Our classes are every Saturday at 9:30am. Please join us!
