Energising the spine


  • Health
  • Sunday, 11 May 2003

MANY readers have informed me that they noticed improvements in their back problem and arthritis after just a few sessions of qigong. But one had muscle cramps and restricted neck movements for a day after doing the spinal stretch exercises.  

I had warned that you should do the stretches gently in the beginning to avoid this. Qigong may be mumbo-jumbo to many doctors, but many patients have benefited from qigong therapy. A famous nutritionist (Udo Erasmus) says the answer to good health lies in common sense, and not in rocket science! Sometimes we rely too much on cutting-edge technology, and forget about the goodness of natural therapies and remedies.
