Simple Qigong Exercises
for Back Pain Relief
by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming
For centuries, the Chinese have healed and strengthened their bodies with
Qigong (chee-kung), the art of using the mind to direct the energy within
your body to improve health and vitality. This program gives an
introduction to the general concepts of qigong, and explains keypoints for
correct practice, such as the 'Five Regulatings'.
Dr. Yang then presents ten gentle qigong exercises to help ease your lower
back pain, strengthen your torso, and expedite your body’s natural
healing. The exercises are simple to learn and enjoyable to practice, and
you can easily follow along with Dr. Yang's demonstration. The movements
can be practiced both sitting or standing.
In the second half of the program, Dr. Yang offers pain-relieving massage
techniques for yourself and with a partner, and shows important pressure
points, or acupuncture cavities. A complete self-massage section is
included which you may follow along to.
This DVD complements the book Back Pain Relief by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming.
