QiGong is a traditional Chinese healing system, similar to Tai Chi. According to the NCCIH, "it involves using exercises to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit, with the goal of improving and maintaining health and well-being. QiGong has both psychological and physical components and involves the regulation of the mind, breath, and body's movement and posture." In clinical trials, it has been shown to improve balance in participants.
