Exercise & Stress Reduction
Chinese Medicine is all about energy (qi). As beings, we constantly burn energy and must replenish
this by bringing in outside energy in the form of food and air (yin and yang energy). All health
problems are caused by energy problems and so improving our energy brings about natural healing.
Exercise or movement plays an important role in our energy levels not only because we burn energy
with movement, but because our bodies need to move in order to process food and air and convert
it into useable energy.
The Chinese developed highly sophisticated exercises based on energy principals, that help improve
energy circulation and how we process food and air. Advice may be given on self- acupressure/massage
techniques, breathing practices and various exercises including walking, stretching or qi-gong.
Our thoughts, worries and emotions consume a great deal of energy and for many people represent
their single greatest energy drain. Many people can benefit from practicing simple stress reduction
techniques. Those most commonly used in Chinese Medicine are breathing and meditative techniques
and special exercises.
