Tai Chi exercise techniques are the epitome of mind/body coordination. The movements incorporate all the functional muscles and joints in the body in slow, controlled postures challenging a person's balance, coordination and motor planning skills. The continuous non-restrictive, non-impact movements increase joint and spine mobility while strengthening postural muscles. Thus, Tai Chi is ideal for patients with challenges such as strokes, arthritis, chronic pain, spinal/pelvic instability, balance and gait disturbances, and injuries.
Tai Chi also benefits practitioners with increased flexibility and body control, improved digestion, sounder sleep, improved cardiovascular and respiratory fitness, muscle endurance, increased bone density and improved sense of well-being. In fact, Tai Chi has been used for millennia to achieve these results.
