with Joseph Acquah, LAc, OMD
Acupuncturist & Tai Chi Chuan Instructor

Qigong (pronounced "chee gong") is an ancient Chinese health care system that integrates physical postures, breathing techniques and focused intention. It promotes good health by facilitating the body’s internal healing mechanisms to relieve stress, develop flexibility, improve coordination and increase stamina. This 10-week course will compliment your existing health care program and provide you with more natural energy to enhance your treatment process.

Joseph Acquah is a nationally recognized Diplomate in Acupuncture (NCCAOM). He is the former Clinical Director and Internship Coordinator for the California Acupuncture College. Joseph began practicing acupuncture in 1981 and has taught at several colleges of Traditional Chinese Medicine, most recently, the New England School of Acupuncture. An expert in the art of Tai Chi Chuan, Joseph also has a master’s degree in clinical psychology.
