What is Medical Chi-Kung?

The history of Medical Chi-Kung traces its roots back to Ayurvedic medicine over 3,000 years ago. It has gradually expanded to incorporate Indonesian, Tibetan and Chinese Medicine. More recently, it has integrated principles of modern medicine, including western physiology and anatomy.

Medical Chi-Kung harmonizes the body's blood circulation, nervous system and energy (chi or Qi) by using a wide array of healing techniques, including massage, acupressure, energy work, herbal medicine and exercise.

Medical Chi-Kung is well suited for accelerating tissue rejuvenation, providing stress relief, energy balancing and re-supplementation. It is ideal for improving, maintaining and enhancing one's physical health.

For what conditions and ailments is Medical Chi-Kung well suited for?

Medical Chi Kung services at the Victoria Healing Centre are particularly well suited for the most resilient of ailments including but not limited to the following:

  • Chronic (old/recurring) and acute (new) pain.
  • Back, neck, shoulder pain and tension.
  • Migraine, tension and other headaches.
  • Muscle tension.
  • Stress reduction.
  • Recovery from injuries, including athletic injuries.
  • Insomnia.
  • Low vitality.
  • Organ and tissue rejuvenation.
  • Nerve pain* (nerve pain often requires skeletal adjustment for permanent relief)

What makes Medical Chi-Kung unique and different?

  • Massage techniques that increase blood flow to tired and aching muscles, enhancing nutrient absorption and the removal of waste products – all without pain or discomfort.
  • There are no tired, aching or “heavy” muscle side effects from our massage techniques.
  • Many of our techniques can boost your immune system as well as pacify your nervous system: a key component of healing and muscle recovery that is often overlooked.
  • Chi Kung exercises as well as dietary and supplement suggestions to accelerate healing.
  • Proper and effective use of heat and/or cold application that supports healing during and after treatment.

    • What does the word Chi-Kung mean anyway?

    Chi-Kung (pronounced “chee-gung,” also spelled qigong) can be translated from the Chinese to mean “energy cultivation” or “working with the life energy.” Chi-Kung is thus a broad word that encompasses any system of healing. For example, massage and acupressure can be considered a type of Chi-Kung even though in the west it usually refers a system of postures, exercises and breathing techniques akin to Tai Chi.

    Chi-Kung at the Victoria Healing Centre encompasses both definitions. It is a comprehensive and very sophisticated system of healing that also contains unique exercises to enhance and maintain the effects of treatments.
