22.01.2022 Benefits of Tai Chi. "Helen, 58, says she has found it helpful in improving her balance and posture." 'Being low-impact, tai chi may be appropriate for older people and those who aren't able to take part in more strenuous workouts.... It can also be adapted for practise in a wheelchair or by those recovering from injuries. Aside from reducing stress and improving balance and coordination, studies have shown regular tai chi practice can result in a range of benefits, including: Reducing pain and stiffness and improving wellbeing for people with arthritis. Improving the physical and mental health of those with type 2 diabetes. Reducing the risk of falls and improving balance in older people. Improving walking ability and reducing falls in people with mild-to-moderate Parkinson's disease.' Some light reading supplied in the link below. Happy weekend everyone!
