In this heartfelt episode, Joanne Faulkner, Qi Gong teacher and Shiatsu practitioner, sits down with her husband Davy, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s almost ten years ago. Together they explore how Qi Gong has become one of the most supportive, empowering, and life-enhancing tools Davy uses every single day.

You’ll learn:

• What Qi Gong is and why it’s perfect for Parkinson’s

• How it supports balance, mobility, gait, and freezing episodes

• Why slow, repetitive movement helps neuroplasticity

• How breath and intention calm anxiety and improve sleep

• Why Qi Gong is recommended by Parkinson’s organisations worldwide

• Davy’s lived experience of practising Qi Gong for over 7 years

• How movement, breath, and community bring confidence and hope

• Affordable Qi Gong options available through Chi Flow with Jo
