Medical QiGong Therapy
and Qi Gong Massage

Medical QiGong is the oldest modality of
 Traditional Chinese Medicine. 








Takashi Tamasu LAc , DMQ (China) see Acupuncture and Massage Page (on this site)
and Dr. Laura McCreary Johnson DMQ (China)  http://www.johnsonmedicalqigong.com/ 
Both Takashi Tamasu and Laura Johnson- also provide Medical Qigong Therapy at SIT Monterey. 

What is Medical QiGong Therapy?
Medical QiGong Therapy along with prescriptions homework exercises combine the use of breath work with individual physical movements, and mental intention. The goal of MQ is to correct the electromagnetic imbalances enabling the body to strengthen and regulate the internal organs, the nervous system, and the immune system, relieve pain, regulate hormones, strengthen and purge deep-seated emotions and stress. MQ offers clients a safe and effective way to help rid themselves of many years of electromagnetic disruptions in this body caused by injuries, surgery, chemical and environmental influences, emotional changes and aging.

In China and more recently in the United States, doctors have applied  Medical QiGong Therapy in hospitals and clinics to treat individuals suffering from a variety of ailments. Medical QiGong Therapy and prescriptions can help in treating cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease and post-stroke syndrome. It is especially useful in treating any kind of chronic pain, and chronic disorders of the digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems. It is also helpful at any stage of cancer.

Medical QiGong Therapy is useful for helping patients before, during and after surgery. Qi emission can be used in order to reduce the patient's bleeding, enhance the immune system, minimize the risk of infection, strengthen the body, and accelerate the recovery rate. Medical qigong modalities are involved in the following aspects of operative therapy: preoperative therapy, surgery, postoperative therapy, follow-up therapies and remedial prescriptions in the form of movement exercises with focused visualizations.

Medical QiGongTherapy can be divided into two methods of application:
 
Internal QiGong or Self treatment and
External QiGong or Qi emission.

•Internal Qigong or Self Treatment: Internal QiGong is a major part of Medical QiGong Therapy. This form of Qigong is practiced by oneself to achieve a specific purpose. A form of psycho-physiological self-regulation, internal qigong regulates the qi of the body for the purposes of harmonizing our internal energy systems for health enhancement and disease prevention. Typically, these are simple breathing and movement exercises or seated meditations.

•External Qigong or Qi Emission: External QiGong refers to the process by which a Medical QiGong practioner-  uses thier training to direct or emit the Qi to others to purge and release toxic emotions from within the body's tissues, eliminate energetic stagnations, as well as tonify, and regulate the internal organs, immune system, and energetic fields. The practioner may touch areas on the other person's body or simply pass his hands over the body.

When patients are ill and their own level of Qi is very low or stagnant, receiving  the Qi within a session of Medical QiGong Therapy can prove to be a powerful stimulant toward recovery. Generally, however, clients also simultaneously do their own internal practice.

*Medical QiGong Massage uses all the same theories of Medical Qigong Therapy and focuses on physical touch in the 5 element massage techniques to help clients and also still incorporates homeowork for the client. Sessions last 90 minutes to 2 hours.

What people are saying about
Dr. Amba:

"Best Massage I have ever had."
- L. C. -Seaside, CA

"Dr. Amba Ann Dryg, DMQ is quite possibly one of the most intuitive and knowledgable health practitioners I've ever met in my life. I worked with her for a number of months in 2011 and the psychological, physical and mental healing that she facilitated has transformed me. She is not only an attentive and caring listener, she specifically tailored the treatment she gave to my personal needs, life circumstances and personal history. She cleared blocked energy that I had stuck in my abdomen and womb area, healing me of relationship addiction and delusion, and helping me let go of past traumatic experiences. I felt enlightened and on top of the world each time I walked out of Amba's office, and she gave me practical exercises and tools to work with in between medical sessions. Qigong requires work from both the doctor and the patient, and Amba educated me and treated me with compassion each time I met with her.
I truly thank Amba for helping me heal and to move forward with my life without anxiety, with a deeper knowledge of myself and an authority over my own
decisions.  -S.C.  Dayna Point, Ca 

 

"As a chronic back pain patient, at the end of my rope, I was skeptical about the results I would get from Qigong Therapy. When Dr. Amba said her goal was for me to be pain free, I though that was impossible, considering the years of pain I had already endured. I was wrong. She was right. I am pain free, AND drug free!  I highly recommend Sunrise Integrative Therapies, both Dr Amba Dryg and Takashi Tamasu are dedicated therapists, the best in their field in my opinion."  - S.R.C.- Carmel, Ca

“I feel so much better just going to see you.  I always feel more committed to my health and clearer just talking with you and being in your healing presence!  Things seem do-able and attainable while there and after I leave....it is like a nice breath of fresh air and sanity in an insane world!  I enjoy the energy work very much and feel expanded, uplifted and yet more centered and grounded at the same time.” 
- L.L.  Monterey, Ca
