Tai Chi For Seniors with Arthritis

Tai Chi is a martial art, an ancient martial art, probably the oldest of all martial arts. This particular style is called Sun style, and is very suitable for senior citizens who have arthritis and who have tendency to fall.

Movements are gracious, slow, rhythmic, creating a perfect harmony of movements, breathing and meditation. Doctor Paul Lamm developed this kind of Tai Chi into main stream medicine, and there are many medical studies proving that this type of Tai Chi is really medically beneficial for our health. The world's major arthritis foundations, including American Arthritis foundation recognizes Tai Chi Sun style as official Tai Chi for arthritis.

Glendale Memorial Hospital and the Care More health plan of California are having regular Tai Chi classes for our senior patients. If you have any questions about those exercises classes please call doctor Neskovic's office at 818-244 4114 .

Yes Tai Chi is one of the best martial arts because everyone can do it. Not only in training but in application as well. I am glad that you mention the martial aspect of tai chi. keep it up!

Love your enthusiasm.

Sun Lutang's 97 step routine movements are all good for arthritis. But a short routine is suitable for those more interested in quickly learning enough for arthritis exercise, rather than having an interest in Sun Style as such, and devoting the time and effort needed to learn the long classical 97 sequence well.

You can be any age. I am taking a Sun Style class to improve my focus and balance. I practice during my lunch hour to help release some of the stress from my job. I hope to learn more styles in the future as I become comfortable.

I live in Glendale.. do I have to be a senior citizen to partake? I'm really young but I have horrible posture and I am constantly tired. :O I mean, I don't mind being around old people at all. :D
