In traditional Chinese philosophy, "chi" or "Qi" is the universal energy or life force that governs well-being and personal health. For people to maintain good health and vitality it is believed that "chi" must flow freely within the body and, if blocked, "dis-ease" and illness follow. Movement is therefore regarded as a key necessity in releasing blockages to chi.
Body massage, stretching, hydrotherapy, exercise, and movement of the mind through relaxation and meditation combine to assist the body in its natural renewal and form the basis of the CHI spa philosophy.
