A Medical
Qigong Methodology for Early Intervention in Autism Spectrum Disorder
A
Medical Qigong protocol (Cignolini, 2002) was applied to a group of 8
autistic children under the age of 6. The children received Medical
Qigong Massage twice weekly from the physician and daily Qigong Massage
from the parents for a five week period, followed by daily parent
massage for an additional four weeks. Standardized tests showed a
decrease in autistic behaviors and increase in language development in
all the children, as well as improvement in motor skills, sensory
function and general health.
