Description

back pain relief

Modern science shows that qigong exercise is good medicine for maintaining health and longevity. In this candid and personal video, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming teaches us how qigong can benefit the spine and can provide natural back pain relief. He begins with a review of spine anatomy and the related nervous system from a Western medical perspective. You will learn how the physical body and energetic circulatory system work together.

The health of your spine affects the entire body. Simple qigong is used to relieve a wide variety of conditions, including headaches, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, bipolar disorder, obesity, and can help prevent Alzheimer's disease. You'll learn the importance of the Vagas cranial nerves, running from your brainstem through the neck to the chest and abdomen, that interface with the parasympathetic control of the heart, lungs, and digestive tract.

Dr. Yang explains the benefits and purpose of spine qigong exercise:

  • for wellness, flexibility, and natural pain relief

  • for physical fitness and martial arts power

  • for healing and preventing illness and chronic ailments

Dr. Yang demonstrates a variety of easy to follow qigong exercises that are especially effective for maintaining the health of the spine and relieving back pain. The program also includes a section on Spine Wave Qigong demonstrated by Master Yang, practiced sitting, standing, and rocking. These pleasant movements can provide immediate back pain relief.
