Tai chi is a mind-body practice often used to enhance mental and physical health. Although it was initially developed as a martial art, it's commonly practiced as a form of moving meditation. Many practitioners of tai chi use this technique to reduce stress, as well as to improve posture, balance, flexibility, and strength. In addition, tai chi is said to boost mood, alleviate pain, strengthen the immune system, and improve heart health.
Tai chi and chronic pain Published: April, 2015 Tai chi is a low-impact, slow-motion, mind-body exercise that combines breath control, meditation, and movements to stretch and strengthen muscles. The practice dates back thousands of years. What does tai chi look like? As you do tai chi, you move fluidly through a series of motions. The motions are named for animal actions, such as white crane spreads its wings, or for martial arts moves. As you move, you breathe deeply and naturally, focusing your attention on an area just below the navel.
