3. Increase the body's strong blood circulation
The second style of Baduanjin is "opening the bow left and right like a sculpture". The focus of this action is on the chest, which is the focus on the top in the words of Chinese medicine. This action will affect the heart and lungs of the hands, arms and chest. By expanding the chest and arms, we can strengthen the muscles of the chest ribs and shoulder arms, strengthen the blood circulation of the body, and help to further correct the pathological conditions caused by incorrect posture.
