Qigong Back Exercises
To Realign Spine
Most qigong exercises are also back exercises that will effectively treat and even eliminate backpain for good. If you suffer from chronic backpain and back spasm due to back injuries, or if you have scoliosis or any other back problems, this qigong back exercise program is specifically tailored to address these needs. How? By realigning vertebrae and relieving undue pressure on the spine. And by generating healing chi energy and circulating that energy along the spine and other affected areas requiring healing and realignment. Qigong (a.k.a. chi kung) will even restructure your spine, bones and skeletal frame as part of the healing process, so that even deformities due to injuries and bone deterioration can be properly corrected and mended! — all without the need for invasive surgery, because qigong is a healing program that works from within. Begin with basic qigong stances: the horse stance, bow stance and empty stance. These stances promote posture that remove pressure on the spine but place added body weight on the legs. If you are not used to the postures, you may find them very tiring on your legs, so start with only five or ten minutes of practice, then gradually work your way up to twenty or thirty minutes per practice session. From there you can work your way through other qigong standing postures, that is, Zhan Zhuang Jingong or Qigong Standing Meditation Postures, and Dun Zhuang Qigong Fa or Rooting Qigong. At this point, you may find most, if not all of your backpain or back spasm alleviated. However, scoliosis and other deformities take more time to correct. Moreover, with the stress of movement, the backpain or back spasm can still return. Therefore, you should continue with the back exercise program: once you have mastered the jinggong or still postures, you should begin to apply donggong or qigong movement to qigong postures: the Taiji Bufa or Tai Chi Walk and tai chi chuan constitute the final but most important part of all the back exercises in your program. Note, however, the exercises get progressively harder, as they place increasing pressure on your legs, especially with rooting qigong. Be sure to tailor the exercises to your ability and do only as much as you feel comfortable. If the back exercise causes you more pain, back off: you are either doing it incorrectly or pushing yourself too hard when your body is not ready for it. Let patience, perseverance and your body's response dictate your rate or speed of learning. Persistance and regular daily practice of donggong or moving postures should eliminate most, if not all of your back problems, and prevent them from returning. Begin with the Tai Chi Walk and then extend to regular daily practice of tai chi chuan for whole body and mind conditioning. Four to six months of tai chi chuan and you will be amazed at how much you have accomplished. After that, you no longer need to practice foundational back exercises, except for warm up exercises and the tai chi form for regular back maintenance. Though back deformities may take up to a few years to correct, with several months of regular tai chi practice, your back pain and/or back spasm stemming from misaligned vertebrae, scoliosis and other back disorders should no longer plague you.
