There are many forms of qigong. Tai Ji Chuan is also a form of Qigong, utilizing a whole series of carefully orchestrated movements. Most forms of Qigong are practiced in silence, in a relaxed but still posture – the main focus is breathing as the ultimate source of all movement in the body.

A separate appointment for Qigong is not necessary. I often incorporate a medical form of Qigong into my treatments. For example, at the end of a foot massage, I might pause briefly while pressing key acupuncture points and try to guide the movement of qi in a way that will help my patient to ground themselves. Or I might ask the patient during moxibustion to breathe in a certain way to increase the effectiveness of the treatment.
