Do you suffer from a chronic illness such as repetitive strain injury (RSI), chronic fatigue, lyme disease, arthritis, asthma, or fibromyalgia?

Many of our students have found relief from such conditions through practice of the Moving Tiger Method exercises.

No one knows exactly why the exercises help. But the following factors are sure to play a role:

• The exercises can be practiced in a very gentle, low-impact manner. Thus you can avoid overexerting your already weak and strained system and gradually build up your capacities. Our teachers are trained to help you learn to do this.
• According to Chinese medicine, the key to all healing is to build up and balance your energy. This is exactly what the Moving Tiger Method exercises do for you.
• Chronic illnesses are usually conditions that affect your entire body and many of your physiological systems, not just your muscles. The Moving Tiger exercises stimulate and unblock all parts of your body and many of your physiological systems beyond your muscles, including your immune system.

Unfortunately, there has been little Western-style scientific research done yet on the effects of the Moving Tiger or related energy exercises on chronic health conditions.

Acupuncture has been much more widely studied, however, and the Moving Tiger exercises are designed to balance the same energy channels through which acupuncture operates. According to the U.S. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine

"promising results have emerged, showing efficacy of acupuncture, for example, in adult postoperative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting and in postoperative dental pain. There are other situations--such as addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low-back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma--in which acupuncture may be useful as an adjunct treatment or an acceptable alternative or be included in a comprehensive management program. An NCCAM-funded study recently showed that acupuncture provides pain relief, improves function for people with osteoarthritis of the knee, and serves as an effective complement to standard care. Further research is likely to uncover additional areas where acupuncture interventions will be useful."

We look forward to the day when adequate research studies have been performed and similar conclusions have been drawn for the Moving Tiger Method exercises. We believe that over time this will occur.
