Because qigong includes both dynamic and gentle techniques that can be practised from standing or seated, it is suitable for young and old. Practices can be tailored to individual needs making it an ideal aid to recovery from illness or injury. Qigong works well with other forms of therapy and should never be used as a substitute for necessary treatment by a doctor.

Like any other system of health care, Qigong is not a quick fix nor a cure for all ills, but it is certainly a highly effective health care practice. Many health care professionals recommend Qigong as an important form of alternative complementary medicine. Benefits include:-

• Youthfulness
• Return to a healthy size and shape
• Improved posture and attitude
• Problem-solving via meditation
• More energy, less stress
• A positive approach to life
• Better brainpower, better judgement
• Healing specific ailments e.g. arthritis, fatigue, poor circulation..
