Tai Chi Info
Tai chi is a wonderful exercise regimen for adults from middle age on and is a perfect regimen for geriatric patients. It requires practitioners to be slow to move outside their base of control and center of mass and really improves their balance and strength in the lower extremities. Physical therapists believe that Tai chi regimen will reduce repeated falls, readmissions to hospitals and consequently reduce medical costs.Tai Chi also has psychological benefits, such as reducing anxiety and reinstating patients in the community with other like-minded adults.
Tai Chi works to reduce falls by strengthening leg muscles, improving balance and building confidence. For example, Tai chi teaches you how to narrow your support to a single-leg base while you slowly advance the other foot through the normal gait pattern.
Practicing tai chi may help to improve balance and stability in older people with Parkinson’s disease, reduce back pain and pain from knee osteoarthritis, and improve quality of life in people with heart disease, cancer, and other chronic illnesses. Tai chi improves fibromyalgia pain and promotes an improved general quality of life.
