Medical Qigong Exercise Prescriptions: This small book contains more valuable information about medical qigong than most books two to three times its size. It is concise, well-written, and accomplishes what it sets out to do, which is to introduce the reader to the theory and practice of medical qigong. Anyone who reads this book will be able to put it to immediate use and begin practicing exercises specifically designed for their particular health issues.

I am a graduate student in Traditional Chinese Medicine and have studied Medical Qigong under Dr. Suzanne Friedman for the past year. Suzanne learned her art in China and now trains Medical Qigong practitioners in one of the only Medical Qigong programs in the USA. As an instructor, Suzanne demonstrates adept expertise continually through lecture and clinic. She is both personable and professional while imparting valuable insight with illustrative stories from her personal experience and practice.
I highly recommend this book for any healer or self-healer. It is concise, organized, cohesive, practical, and informative. This book promotes holistic self-healing of the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Spiritual seekers, and especially qigong practitioners, must be especially wary because books containing ancient/traditional knowledge often misguide the reader (slightly or blatently), in order to protect proprietary information. Suzanne is not such a teacher -- she cares deeply for healing and health. This little book is a good book to have and learn from.
If you want more knowledge about alternative medicine and qigong, I encourage you to visit the website for Dr. Suzanne Friedman's clinic (google search for "daoclinic").

This is a good introduction but not as good as the rave reviews would really have you believe. This isn't a five-star book. Some parts of the text could do with some illustrations. Much of the info in here is available in Jerry Alan Johnson's books so it would really need something new or a new approach or inspired layout to lift it into the five star all-time classic category. Still not to bad but not worth all the hoopla from her colleagues.
Great for patients May 12, 2007

I am an acupuncture health care provider by trade and I often need to offer my patients Qigong exercises that they can do at home. I have several books with exercises, but you can never have too many.

It was not detailed enough or provided illustrations , both are needed to provide education for patients.
