Zu Qigong (pronounced Zoo Chee Kong) is a gentle yet powerful therapeutic technique that combines principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), energy work, and the healing wisdom of reflexology. “Zu” means foot, “Qi” translates as vital energy, and “Gong” means working with or cultivating. Together, Zu Qigong means working with the energy of the feet to cultivate vitality and life.

This deeply relaxing, low-pressure technique involves fluid, mindful movements and light touch to harmonise the body’s natural energy flow. It is suitable for a wide range of clients, especially those sensitive to deeper bodywork or touch, such as children, the elderly, those with chronic illness, palliative care needs, or disabilities.

Benefits of Zu Qigong include:

• Relaxed joints and tissues

• Enhanced flow of energy through meridian pathways

• Improved physical and emotional balance

• A meditative, calming experience for both client and practitioner

Zu Qigong can be used as a complete treatment or to complement other therapies such as reflexology and massage. It is especially supportive for individuals experiencing fatigue, stress, or a sense of disconnection from their bodies.

With its simplicity, gentleness, and effectiveness, Zu Qigong is a beautiful modality that reconnects body, mind, and spirit — a true pleasure to both give and receive.
