Wellbeing
Constantly looking after our well-being is important. Precaution is always better than receiving treatment of illness. There are various ways to enhance your well-being ranging from regular massage / acupuncture to practicing martial arts such as Qi-gong or Tai Chi. Regular body checkup is also important to monitor one’s overall health.
There are a number of health check service providers in Hong Kong, ranging from clinics to hospitals. Many of them provide coverage to senior executives and staff of large companies. For retired individuals, you may opt for well-proven overseas health-check providers in Taiwan or Thailand with good value for money whilst on holiday trips.
Massages provide relaxation to the affected muscles as well as the mind and body as a whole. Having regular massages would help keep your body in shape. Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This, in turn, releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes may stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.
The benefits of qigong include lowered stress and anxiety, increased focus, and improved balance and flexibility whereas Tai chi can boost upper- and lower-body flexibility as well as strength.
