The “Longevity Stick” regimen incorporates a series of 12 movements designed to improve balance, flexibility, strength, mental focus, breathing capacity and vitality. The exercise, which is done while standing, takes its name from the only piece of equipment used in its practice – a 1-inch-thick dowel that is an inch or two longer than the practitioner's height. The exercise was created in 1981 by Mai Bac Dau, a Vietnamese citizen who survived five years in a communist concentration camp following the fall of South Viet Nam in 1975. Combining his knowledge of eastern and western medicine he combines exercising with the longevity stick with a vitality adjustment to help promote better health as well as better physical movement capabilities.Today, the exercise is practiced widely throughout Vietnam, and has spread to the U.S., France, Australia and Canada.
