“As a cancer patient I really suffered, I never had the energy to wake up and after the radiation and chemotherapy it was a nightmare,” Mr Chin said.

“Qigong has been very good for me, I now feel energised and refreshed because Qigong is a form of ‘Qi’ exercise.

“If any part of your body is in pain it is because your energy lines, your ‘Qi’ is blocked.

“So, the health benefits of Qigong come from supporting the body’s natural tendency to return to balance and equilibrium by gently creating strength, flexibility and balance in the muscles and joints through gentle flowing movements.
