Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention

This modified Sun Style Tai Chi program was started by Dr. Paul Lam and his Tai Chi for Health Institute in Australia. Today, Tai Chi for Health is taught all over the world. Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention is a gentle exercise program that can help you increase strength, stamina, and balance. Regular practice of these simple and effective Tai Chi routines can help reduce stress, enhance cognitive function, encourage proper breathing and improve motor skills.

In terms of physical exertion, the Tai Chi exercise in these programs is like walking. Even if you have an illness or disability, you can learn Tai Chi. Mobility impaired individuals can learn Tai Chi in a chair. Students are encouraged to work within their "comfort zone" at all times. All students are required to do a gentle warm-up exercise at the beginning of each class and a cool-down exercise at the end.
