Introduction to Tai Chi for Health and Wellness

Although Tai Chi appears to be slow moving and effortless, it actually provides many of the physical benefits of other types of exercise. You get the strength benefits of weightlifting, the flexibility improvement of yoga, the core strength improvement of Pilates, and it is even equivalent to moderate aerobics! Best of all, it is a low impact form of exercise easily adapted to any age or fitness level while providing many health benefits. The Harvard Medical Study identified it as a top form of exercise for adults.
Arthritis - The slow, smooth movements are low impact and help improve flexibility and range of motion in the joints and also improves the strength of muscles surrounding the joints. Studies have shown that it can help alleviate joint pain in older patients with osteoarthritis. There is even evidence that the health of joints is improved as the flow of blood and nutrient fluids reaching muscles, tendons and cartilage is improved by the movements of Tai Chi and the repair of soft joint tissue may be stimulated.
Balance/Fall Prevention - Tai Chi practice improves body awareness and strengthens the muscles of the legs as well as the psoas and other abdominal muscles important for walking and maintaining good posture. Studies have shown remarkable decreases in falls experienced by the elderly who practice Tai Chi.
