The Medical Qigong Practitioner has advanced knowledge of anatomy, physiology and energetics which help guide their ability to recognize and influence energetic and physiological blockages related to scar tissue, myofascial adhesions, and other injuries. In clinic, the Practitioner is able to reestablish energetic flow through an injured area which may accelerate the healing process. Through prescriptive Qigong techniques, the Practitioner is able to train the patient in stabilizing and strengthening weakened areas, and releasing physiological blockages thus increasing fluid and energetic circulation, both of which are crucial to the healing process.
Medical Qigong recognizes and embraces the relationship between mental and physical well being. Consider that, universally, worry and chronic anxiety can elevate blood pressure, hijack your breath and damage digestion. Additionally, being unable to speak your truth often causes physiological and energetic blockages in the neck and jaw line leading to ear aches, chronic sore throats and grinding of teeth. The Medical Qigong Practitioner explores mental health as part of the healing path and works with the patient to identify and resolve mental imbalances through perspective shifting life coaching sessions, prescriptive Qigong techniques and meditation training.

Patients fill out detailed personal history forms which are discussed during the first consultation with the Medical Qigong Practitioner. From this conversation, the Practitioner can begin to gain perspective on the optimum healing path.
Depending on the patient's needs, the Medical Qigong Practitioner uses energetic discernment, Tuina bodywork and other myofascial release techniques to further refine where blockages and stagnation currently reside in the patient. This process offers deeper perspectives, further informing the healing path.
Once all information has been evaluated, the Medical Qigong Practitioner will offer insights into the observed energetic patterning and invite the patient to explore their inner most selves in between appointments. This often involves personal observation and prescriptive Qigong practice.
Follow up appointments involve a review of the patient's progress with homework and any perspectives gained through observation. Additional table work and Qigong practice refinement allows for deeper insights into next steps with treatments and homework.

Each of us is completely unique. Therefore our blockages are unique and you are the best source for information that will help you heal. A personal commitment to the process is necessary for this type of integrative practice to flourish.
We routinely tell patients and students, as you practice Qigong, whatever is in your way will show up and ask for attention. It is up to you to "lean in" to the information instead of pushing it down or away.
When you are working to heal physical, mental and emotional wounds, gentle, persistent, consistent effort is needed. Not brute force. The results are powerful when you work with, not against your whole being.
In the case of chronic or persistent patterns, the patient is encouraged and trained to develop a higher level of mindfulness. This helps determine how their physical and energetic bodies move out of harmony. A critical step in the healing process.
