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 takes the pain out of arthritis. Arthritis pain can be debilitating, but finding effective ways to manage it can help. One form of exercise that may prove beneficial, particularly for seniors, is Sun style tai chi. This form of tai chi was adapted by tai chi expert Dr. Paul Lam into the Tai Chi for Arthritis program. The program is supported by the Arthritis Foundation and is designed to address arthritis pain and improve many aspects of health.
