Some more information on Taijiwuxigong:

Taiji wuxigong provides various standing, sitting and lying exercises which have two functions. The first is to correct body posture, the second is to clear stuck waste products. This helps to restore physical wellbeing and mental and emotional equilibrium.

Through the practice of Taijiwuxigong we can learn how to bring the vibrations of the earth force up through the body and allow this to clear the spinal column. This realigns the vertebrae and opens the spaces between them, making the body taller again. Pressure on nerves and blood vessels around the spine is relieved and freedom of movement restored. Spontaneous movement (both physical and emotional reactions) can occur and we can feel the healing effect this has on the body as it helps to remove and flush out disease.

The exercises are very beneficial for people who do a lot of desk or computer work and who suffer from 'mouse-arm syndrome'. Spending long hours sitting at a desk often leads to a distorted body position – the result is tightness and muscle tension in the neck and shoulders (especially that of the arm used most). This tension can cause mal-positioning of the neck vertebrae, in turn putting pressure on the local nerves and inhibiting blood circulation to the brain.
