Tai Chi for Health Programmes

• Tai Chi for Arthritis, Diabetes, Osteoporosis and Rehabilitation are modified tai chi programmes with a high emphasis on safety, designed by Dr Paul Lam, medical and tai chi experts.
• The Tai Chi for Health programmes are suitale for ALL ages and abilities and are ideal for older adults due to the slow gentle movements, no high kicks, higher stance used in the forms, attention to the breath and relaxation, emphasis on strengthening and flexibility and a social element encouraged.
• These programmes are evidence based and have gained worldwide acceptance by Arthritis Foundations and Societies and are proven by scientific studies to be safe and effective.
• Studies have shown the Tai Chi for Arthritis program relieves pain, improves physical function and balance by 30%, and reduces the risk of falls after three months practice.
