According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the body's motivating energy moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of channels beneath the skin. This energy is known as qi. The flow of qi can be disturbed by any number of factors. These include emotional states such as anxiety, anger or grief, as well as poor nutrition, hereditary factors, infections and trauma.

Special energetic forces allow the practitioner to clear stagnant and blocked energy from the patient, allowing health and wellbeing to return naturally. Poor body posture, negative thinking, the modern diet and lifestyle together with seasonal changes and environmental issues all affect our health. This is because stagnant energy accumulates in the body and blocks our energy channels. A Buqi treatment aims to remove this stagnation and correct the corresponding body posture.
