Qigong Massage for Autism treatment
Posted on 09 Aug, 2010

I am a mother and a practitioner and I am looking at taking Qigong Massage for Autism next week. I was wondering if others have tried this or were interested in learning more about it. www.qsti.org is the website. It has some compelling videos of recoveries with young children. The treatment is basically 10-15 minutes a day for 5 months or more. So the parents learn the treatment at home and work with a practitioner once a week. It was developed in Oregon so most likely anyone who is familiar with it would live in that area. I live in Massachusetts so I am in the first class to take this on the east coast. There is an information night next week 8/18 if people are in the greater boston area and want to learn more about this therapy.

Sounds like a good route to take if all else fails.

Thanks for posting Meredith. So glad you had good results. I am meeting with Dr. Silva and studying directly with her. SO I hope to offer classes to parents to help them do this at home as well.

I posted a blog about it a few weeks ago, I bought the dvd and learned it and my daughter loves it..really helps with the stuck energy that makes them so warm in the head and neck and helps with digestion..so many things..it is really beneficial ;-D www.qsti.org Dr. Silva does the dvd that I learned from

Thanks for the interest! I just signed up for the class. I am pretty excited about it. I have a 3 yo autistic child that I will be working with during my training. So I will be able to see first hand the results.
