This is an account of traditional Chinese medical exercises, called Daoyin, their origins in the Han dynasty, and continuing practice today in both China and the West. The use of the exercises, their application to specific organs and conditions, their chief practitioners, the historical texts recording the exercises, and the present-day equivalent practices are described.
