The ‘Standing Pole Exercises’ are a unique form of callisthenics involving the cultivation and integration of mind and body under the conditions of ‘non-movement’ or slight movement. In this book, the authors outline the ancient Chinese tradition of therapeutic exercises now known as qigong, of which these exercises form a part. The authors also discuss the practice of the ‘Standing Pole Exercises’ today and the physiological factors underlying their therapeutic effect. These exercises constitute a very simple and effective system for the treatment of illness and the development of overall health and fitness, suitable for use by people of all ages and physical condition.
