“Qigong and yoga are ancient methodologies developed and refined over thousands of years, designed to sustain the inherent healing systems of the body by maximizing restorative energies… The efficacy of these techniques can now be explained through our scientific understanding of the body’s basic self-regulatory mechanisms… Applied in the management of chronic disease, therapeutic exercise could potentially reduce the burden of illness.” From a Townsend Letter research article, “Physiology of Qigong and Yoga” by Roger Jahnke, OMD and Nancy Faass, MSW, MPH.
