Qigong For Arms, Elbows, Wrists and Hands – Introduction

In this video you can follow along with some simple methods of Qigong for arms, wrists, elbows and hands. You’ll learn how to help relieve aches, pains and stiffness in these areas using easy to follow Qigong. You’ll also learn an acupressure point which can help relieve elbow, wrist and hand pain.

Qigong Routine

1. Use Abdominal Breathing to calm the mind and prepare yourself for your practice, focusing on the Dan Tian area (more details here).

2. Using the mind and the breath tilt the neck forward and back, tilt side to side and turn side to side (for more details watch here). Remember to breathe and smile! 🙂

3. Perform shoulder shrugs and rotations to release any tension.

4. With the arms held at shoulder level perform elbow and wrist movements, combining them with the breath and focusing the mind on the joints in order to allow for more Qi and blood flow to enter the areas.

5. Open and close the hands method (see more on this method here).

6. Relax your arms by your sides, turning from one side to the other, allowing your arms to tap the back of the body as you are moving.

7. End this routine with a few abdominal breaths, observing, in particular, any sensations in your arms and hands. Note the position and use of the acupuncture point Quchi (Large Intestine 11) and how to use acupressure to relieve elbow, arm and wrist pain.
