Medical Qigong is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine along with acupuncture, herbal medicine and massage. Qi, pronounced Chi, means “universal life force” and gong means “skillful cultivation of”. 
Medical Qigong is a medical system originating in China over 2500 ago where a skilled practitioner has learned to gather Qi, build Qi and direct Qi very intentionally for the purpose healing.
With Medical Qigong, the Qi is given directive to work in the body of the patient to push through blockages and break up imbalances. As the old patterns are disrupted, the universal life force is directed to get to work restoring the natural balance in the systems of the body. Medical Qigong is a powerful gentle healing experience. The patient is often given Qigong exercises to practice at home to support the generation and utilization of Qi. Some practitioners of Medical Qi Gong offer opportunities for people to learn and practice Qigong healing moves, stances and breathing.
The main system that Medical Qigong works with is the respiratory system. Without breath, we perish. With conscious deliberate focused ways of breathing in Medical Qi Gong, the breath becomes bellows that contract to draw out disruptive Qi and expand to fill areas that need it a Qi infusion. As Qi builds in the body through breath, we have more energy to positively influence our health.
I have enjoyed good health most of my life. After a fall a few years ago, my health took a downward turn and kept going that direction. I found myself in constant pain in my lower back, not sleeping through the night from feeling hot, and on medications to manage my blood sugar. I was referred to Dr. Mary by a colleague of hers who highly recommended her. With my wife’s help, she is the computer expert, I answered the questions about my problems before we went for my first visit.
I received an acupuncture treatment and took home my Standard Process Supplements and signed up for a Care Plan. When I came back for my second acupuncture treatment 4 days later, I was able to report having more energy, sleeping through the night, feeling generally better all over and definitely feeling more positive. I just had my 3rd treatment today and am enjoying the process. I get to take a cat nap every time I visit her.
