Become a Bodymind Expert!
The Fundamentals of Rehabilitative Qigong & Tai Chi training bridges the gap between western bodymind science and the time-tested principles of Qigong and Tai Chi. During this comprehensive e-course, including power point presentations, engaging lecture, and active demonstration, students will learn the science and physiology of bodymind rehabilitation, resulting in the practitioner’s ability to effectively leverage natural healing processes immediately with every client.
As Americans are becoming more frustrated and disempowered with the insurance based, drug driven medical system, over 127 million US residents utilize alternative and complementary health related services each year. Even with this growing demand, many holistic practitioners lack the scientific understanding to effectively validate bodymind techniques, potentially losing credibility with clients and professional referral sources.
“Expert holistic practitioners understand the application of bodymind science to rehabilitation and achieve transformative results with their patients and clients.”
The Fundamentals of Rehabilitative Qigong & Tai Chi certification course is intended for rehabilitation professionals including PT, PTA, OT, OTA, LMT, ATC, Nurses, Qigong/Tai Chi Instructors, and other practitioners with focus on body-mind physiology education and multidisciplinary clinical treatment applications as they apply to the principles of Qigong and Tai Chi. This course is open to all levels of experience. No prerequisite coursework is required.
Instructor Bio
Brian Trzaskos, PT LMT CSCS CMP MI-C, founder and director of the IRQTC, believes education is powerful medicine that allows people to access their own highest healing potential. As a practicing physical therapist and student of eastern movement and meditation practices for over two decades, Brian holds multiple advanced certifications in both the Western and Eastern healing arts. After practicing for 16 years under the constraints of managed care, Brian experienced a deep discontentment with the health insurance system and its inability to place quality of care above costs. Notably, this time of frustration was accompanied by a series of stress-related illnesses which had seriously impacted Brian’s life, prompting him to delve more deeply into himself and strengthening his commitment to serve others. Out of this experience he created his own private pay practice and rediscovered the power of both Tai Chi and Qigong for personal cultivation and inner strength. He is now an author, national public speaker and thought leader in holistic therapeutic movement. Brian and his family live in the beautiful Champlain Valley in upstate NY.

Praise for the Fundamentals Program
“I have attended seminars conducted by Brian and done on-line IRQTC training. I truly think his approach to treating patients most effectively addresses the mental and physical aspects of rehab and has inspired me to learn more about Qigong and Tai Chi and utilize them when treating all of my patients so that I can provide them with the best possible care.
“Brian’s Fundamentals of Rehabilitative Qigong & Tai Chi course was exactly what I was looking for – a western take on how Qigong & Tai Chi work, with anatomy and physiology thrown into the mix. I am a qigong teacher and wanted to expand my abilities to speak to different audiences. Brian put together a great course. He knows his material and has the ability to explain potentially difficult concepts in ways that were easy to grasp. His speaking style and easy manner kept me focused and engaged. It’s great that he is putting together these programs to not only help his clients but to also help other practitioners deepen their practice and understanding.”
“The application of Qigong and Tai Chi into a sound treatment approach and treatment plan. I have found a significant improvement in my R shoulder function with less discomfort since applying the techniques for myself. Brian your course is well organized, thorough and the exercise videos most helpful. It is nice to have all the information on my computer to refer back to. Thank you so much.”
“Brian’s message is life-giving. Incorporating this into your life will be soul soothing.”
“Brian Trzaskos’ skill in sequencing the steps to learning a new skill along with his clear explanations to how the skill (i.e. a qigong form) is beneficial has been most helpful in my own practice and in my Qigong teaching.”
“Brian Trzaskos is an inspired and inspiring source of answers to so many of the questions I have pondered over the course of my 30 plus year movement therapy career. His knowledge spans an unusually broad range: physiology, neuroscience, Tai Chi/Qigong, pedagogy, coaching. I have intuitively known there is an important connection among these, but Brian is the first person I have worked with who moves with confidence and clarity among all of them, explaining exactly how they contribute to an increasingly vivid understanding of the human mindbodyspirit.”
