		<description><![CDATA[Much of the criticism of qigong involves its claimed method of operation. Both traditional Chinese and Western medicine practitioners have little argument with the notion that qigong can improve and in many cases maintain health by encouraging movement, increasing range of motion, relaxation, and improving joint flexibility and resilience. However, the benefits of qigong become [...]]]></description>
