Why Tai Chi
Scientific research shows that Tai Chi can not only help ease arthritis pain and increase joint flexibility, but also significantly improves physical and mental health through slow, gentle movements connected to breathing. Both the Arthritis Foundation and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) recommend Tai Chi for arthritis and fall prevention. It’s even more effective for healing since anyone can do it. It’s much more effective for healing than other types of physical activities, due to the low impact movements that can help ease pain in joints, while strengthening muscles that support the body, as we heal ourselves from injuries or illness. The benefits of regular practice of Tai Chi are:
- Brain Function - It improves cognitive function in older adults.
- Overall Well-Being - The integration of mind and body improves the flow of Qi, the energy force coursing through the body, improving the life markers in healthy and chronically ill people.
- Muscle Strength - The slow continuous movements improve overall body muscle strength.
- Enhances Immune - It improves immune function, reduces inflammation and boosts the lymphatic system, which may increase protection against colds, flu or autoimmune diseases.
- Stronger Bones - It increases bone density which may help prevent fractures in elderly adults.
- Improves Balance - Regular practice will improve balance and help prevent falls in elderly adults.
- Lessen Joint Pain - The slow, graceful exercises offer joint and arthritis relief.
- Cardiovascular - These low-impact, relaxing exercises are beneficial for heart health. They significantly lower blood pressure as well as reducing the resting heart rate.
- Flexibility - Boost upper and lower body flexibility and strength while improving balance and coordination with a heightened sense of proprioception.
- Mood - Combat stress and anxiety by replacing anxiety -inducing thoughts with focus attention and introspection. Stress is known to cause sleep problems. Through the practice of Tai Chi and Qigong you will reduce stress which will improve sleep. Better quality sleep is known to improve mood.
Today, many people are practicing Tai Chi. It is the number one recommendation from doctors and chiropractors as one of the better ways to improve your balance, muscle tone and health in general. Start feeling better through controlled breathing and movements that promote better health and a tranquil mind.
