Medical Qigong Sessions
In a medical qigong session, evaluation, treatment, and prescription of a personal medical qigong exercise generally take place within the scheduled hour. Initial sessions may be longer.
Evaluation
A pre-treatment dialog allows the client to clarify their reasons to seek care, and the practitioner to formulate a treatment protocol. In this initial interview, the practitioner seeks to discern a measure of the client's physical, emotional, and energetic condition.
Treatment
 |
A treatment using Pushing Energy. |
At times during the session, the practitioner may lightly touch the client to help move the qi. The client always remains fully clothed.
Sensations such as warmth, tingling, coolness, vibration, and sometimes mild twitching may arise as held or blocked energy releases.
Relaxing and rejuvenating sensations usually accompany treatment. An emotional release can occur either during or after the treatment. Although an emotional release can be briefly uncomfortable, releasing held emotions is considered to be extremely beneficial to one's physical and emotional well being.

Prescriptions
Specially tailored prescription medical qigong exercises are taught to the client to assist in their healing. These exercises and meditations are adapted to the client's needs, constitution, and ability. This is similar to an acupuncturist prescribing healing herbs, or to a medical doctor giving a pharmaceutical prescription.
In practicing complementary and alternative medicine, we seek to support the care of your existing physician, therapist, or acupuncturist.
