Better Mobility and Flexibility
Regular practice can improve range of motion and reduce stiffness in joints and muscles
Tai Chi helps manage Parkinson’s but does not cure it. It can reduce symptoms, improve balance and coordination, and support mental well-being, making it a highly recommended complementary therapy.
· A 2012 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that Tai Chi style programs, improved balance and motor control better than resistance training or stretching in people with ailments as serious as Parkinson’s.
·The Parkinson’s Foundation and other neurological organizations often recommend exercise programs such as Tai Chi as a complementary therapy.
