The main purpose of Qigong exercises for any joint injury, joint pain, or arthritis is to rebuild the strength of the joint by improving the Qi circulation.

Traditional Chinese physicians believe that since the body’s cells are alive, as long as there is a proper supply of Qi, the physical damage can be repaired or even completely rebuilt. Broken bones can be mended completely, even in the elderly using Qigong.

Even many Western physicians have now come to believe that damaged or degenerated joints can be returned to their original healthy state.

As you will experience in Dr. Yang's “Qigong Joint Pain Healing & Arthritis Prevention Program,” practicing Qigong aids healing for arthritis or joint injuries and helps rebuild the joint.

Qigong is also known to be very effective in strengthening the internal organs.

Many illnesses, including some forms of arthritis, stem from abnormally functioning internal organs. For example, an improperly functioning liver and kidneys cause gouty arthritis.

When someone has a joint injury, Chinese physicians will first usually work on the “Qi stagnation” inside the joint. As a catalyst for healing, the Eastern physician will encourage the patient to do Qigong exercises to increase the Qi circulation and speed the healing.

The most important effect of the Qigong, however, is to insure that all Qi stagnation in the joint is cleared up. As you will see in “Qigong Joint Pain Healing & Arthritis Prevention Program,” this can be done only through the patient moving and massaging the joint for maximum Qi balancing.

SPECIAL NOTE: If a joint issue is ignored or left unresolved, the Qi stagnation will eventually develop into Feng Shi (“wind moisture,” often translated as “rheumatism”) and continue to further interfere with smooth and balanced Qi circulation in the joint.

In Western medicine there are much fewer documents that discuss how to prevent arthritis than there are how to treat it.

Prevention just does not seem to be considered important in the practice of Western medicine. Only when the symptoms of arthritis appear, treatment is started.

Even if there is some joint pain and if there is no sign of arthritis in the X-rays, the Western physician may prescribe medication for the pain, but he or she will all too often tend to ignore it.

If you have joint pain, especially if you have arthritis, adding exercise while improving your Qi Balance is critical to attempting to reverse the pain.

Since we know that when Qi circulation is unbalanced, this may affect the nerves around the joints and cause pain. Feng Shi can occur when a joint is weak or injured, or when a joint has degenerated because of aging.

When Feng Shi occurs, people notice that pain usually increases when rain is coming on, because clouds and moisture accumulate great masses of electric charges that affect the Qi in our bodies. Pain can also occur when the joints are exposed to cold wind, which can significantly affect the Qi of the joints.

You may have heard of this or experienced this yourself.

Generally speaking, if a case of joint pain or arthritis has already reached the stage of serious physical damage, special treatment is needed before any rebuilding can proceed. During the treatment and rebuilding process, alleviating pain is always the first concern.

If you have been exercising for years and you wish to prevent the threat of joint pain that stems from joint overuse, or past injury that MOST OFTEN leads to arthritis as you age, then should to apply the specific joint restoration and protection techniques Dr. Yang prescribes in the “Qigong Joint Pain Healing & Arthritis Prevention Program.”

If you're experiencing regular joint pain and/or know that you have arthritis now, reading the “Qigong Joint Pain Healing & Arthritis Prevention Program” guidebook and using the Qigong for Arthritis DVD regularly will help in recovering joint strength, mobility, and in rebuilding the strength of the joints while putting you on the road to help heal and relieve your arthritis.

Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming (楊俊敏博士) started his Gongfu (Kung Fu) training at the age of fifteen under the Shaolin White Crane (Bai He) Master Cheng, Gin Gsao (曾金灶). In thirteen years of study (1961-1974) under Master Cheng, Dr. Yang became an expert in the White Crane style of Chinese martial arts, which includes both the use of bare hands and of various weapons such as saber, staff, spear, trident, two short rods, and many others. With the same master he also studied White Crane Qin Na (or Chin Na), Tui Na and Dian Xue massages, and herbal treatment. At the age of sixteen, Dr. Yang began the study of Taijiquan (Yang Style) under Master Kao, Tao (高濤). Dr. Yang's tai chi can be traced back to the Yang family through Master Kao's teacher Yue, Huanzhi (樂奐之), an indoor disciple of Yang, Chengfu (楊澄甫). After learning from Master Kao, Dr. Yang continued his study and research of Taijiquan with Master Li, Mao-Ching (李茂 清) and training partner Mr. Wilson Chen in Taipei. Master Li learned his Taijiquan from the well-known Master Han, Ching-Tang, and Mr. Chen learned his Taijiquan from Master Chang, Xiang-San. Dr. Yang has mastered the Taiji barehand sequence, pushing hands, the two-man fighting sequence, Taiji sword, Taiji saber, and Taiji Qigong.
