These people know and understand fatigue and pain, and will offer endless understanding, compassion and support for their students. These are good classes to refer your patients to. I know several retired women who previously taught yoga, aerobics and tennis, and now teach Qi Gong to seniors. I also know several teachers who are HIV positive and women with chronic fatigue. They are good at it.
People recovering their health want to breath.
Qi Gong can make that kind of difference. A quality of life difference. Any practitioner of Oriental Medicine who doesn't know Qi Gong should get a book, get some instruction, buy a video tape, prescribe and teach your patients one or two exercises, and be prepared to be amazed. Qi Gong is just as remarkable and powerful a healing system as acupuncture and herbs. Really, Qi Gong is for illness what Lamaze is for pregnancy.
