Since 2021, residents of the EHPADs of the Villefranche-de-Rouergue Hospital Center “Le Jardin Fleuri” Rulhe site and “Le Bosquet” Chartreuse site have benefited from QI GONG courses.
This traditional Chinese gymnastics is based on breathing, slow movements have a beneficial influence on psychological function, improve coordination, mobility, range of motion and balance, and have a beneficial effect on the joints.
They are produced by Isabelle Lepachelet, who also provides courses for professionals at the Hospital Center in the context of quality of life at work.
In the third quarter of 2022, the Villefranchoise teacher introduced the form (sequence of movements) of the tai-chi-chuan fan.
It was a great success and to promote this project, the host of the Ehpad therefore organized a show bringing together the two Ehpad concerned. The residents were able to give a demonstration of Qi gong and the range of taï-chi-chuan, followed by a demonstration by students and teachers from the association of Qi gong and taï-chi-chuan villefranchoise TIANDI.
This show ended with a snack.
