beside these details,there is another standing breathing exercise which is used to learn to send qi all over the body,and or any part need in particular. my first qi gong teacher mentioned after learning a similar exercise you could heal just about any disease or ailment. the reason being you can send qi to where it is needed. so combining all this and you have much more then a simple massage.
