Join our Qigong Courses for Clinicians at the renowned UK College of Qigong! Known for our authentic teachings, we provide top-quality training for postgraduate acupuncture clinicians in the UK. Our Clinical Qigong Courses are designed to suit everyone looking to empower their patients and promote wellness.
Our Clinical Qigong Courses will provide you with a deep understanding of these distinctions. Upon successful completion, you will clearly comprehend that while general Qigong consists of exercises aimed at maintaining overall health, Clinical Qigong prescriptive exercises involves tailored treatments based on specific diagnoses.
For instance, in general Qigong, a typical exercise might focus on maintaining healthy Qi within the Spleen and Stomach. However, in Clinical Qigong, a practitioner assesses a patient’s Spleen syndrome to determine if it presents as a ‘Shi’ type (Damp/Cold) or a ‘Xu’ type (deficiency/sinking). The practitioner then decides whether purgation or tonification is the appropriate course of action.
Unlock the full potential of your Clinical Qigong with precise evaluations and tailored healing protocols. As experienced Eastern and Western clinicians, you are already adept at engaging one-on-one with your patients, making this process second nature to you.
Clinical Qigong, one of the four pillars of Chinese Medicine alongside acupuncture, herbal medicine, and tui na, is considered the energetic foundation from which these other modalities emerged. As acupuncturists, you might feel a deep, almost spiritual connection to this practice, as if you’ve traversed this path before. This is because Clinical Qigong integrates ancient concepts from Daoism, Buddhism, and Shamanism.
Leverage your expertise to assess the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of your patients. Empower them to achieve sustained wellness and enrich your practice with the profound wisdom of Clinical Qigong.
It doesn’t! Our Qigong Courses for Clinicians are designed to complement any style, whether you practice TCM, Japanese, or Worsley acupuncture. Our aim is to enhance, not replace, your existing knowledge and techniques.
Clinicians trained in the Five Elements will particularly appreciate our teachings, as they emphasize living in harmony with the seasons. Additionally, many of our participants have found the spiritual aspects of our courses to be a valuable addition, filling a gap often left by Western acupuncture training.
If you’re new to our programs, we recommend starting with one of our short courses, such as the Three Invocations, Ren Wu Zang, or Old Man Healing Sounds. These are ideal for enhancing your own energy, that of your patients, or even your treatment environment – Sacred Space is perfect for this.
For those specialising in fields like fertility, we offer tailored courses to support your specific practice. Our Principal Teacher, a qualified acupuncturist, seamlessly integrates Clinical Qigong into her busy clinic. She uses it both as a standalone prescriptive exercise and to enhance acupuncture treatments, empowering patients throughout their treatment plans.

“A huge benefit of the Clinical Qigong for Chronic Conditions Course was practicing at home; it really enhanced my life and wellbeing. Experiencing this first-hand has made me even more passionate about sharing it with others. The teacher was very knowledgeable and clear with instructions, she explained what Qigong was and how it should be used, and I felt guided and supported the whole way through the course.
I feel confident and excited about bringing Clinical Qigong into my practice and I recommend the course to any practitioner that wants to enhance their acupuncture practice and provide additional support to their patients.”
“I had a previous Qigong practice so had some specific criteria in mind when I chose the Clinical Qigong for Chronic Conditions course. It was tailored for acupuncturists to provide an additional method to support patients in clinic.
The teacher was very clear about where Qigong fitted into the tradition of Chinese Medicine, the purpose of the sets we were studying and their benefits.
The teaching was very precise with lots of time for clarification ensuring we had understood the material. Because the group had different backgrounds it helped us to gain a view of how to deliver the material in everyday language. It was clear however that the material had a long lineage and history of use which appealed to me and aligned to my own values.
The high standards set by the teacher meant a real sense of achievement in having completed the course. Although we had to ensure our own standards met the school’s requirements, there were ample opportunities to ask questions and continuing support the whole time. We definitely got the benefit of previous experience.”
