Tai Chi for Arthritis

Tai Chi for Arthritis is Sun style tai chi, modified by Dr Paul Lam, a Chinese-Australian GP who was crippled by arthritis as a teenager, to be as joint-friendly as possible.  He is the founder of the Tai Chi for Health Institute, https://taichiforhealthinstitute.org, a worldwide organisation promoting tai chi & researching the benefits, which are very many.  Tai Chi for Arthritis focuses on improving strength, flexibility & mobility for arthritis sufferers.  For some, there is a reduction in pain.  For many, there is improved range of movement.  Do note that this is real tai chi, & it's fantastic for all fitness levels, & good for promoting a sense of wellbeing whatever your ability.

Sun style tai chi

Created by Sun Lutang (1860-1933), who modified ancient tai chi so that it has a high stance, - i.e. no deep knee-bends, & short steps, so is already good for joint problems.

All styles of tai chi are mindful practices, & promote mental wellbeing as well as physical health.  Tai chi is often referred to as "Meditation in movement."  As well as improved strength, flexibility & balance, practising tai chi brings a sense of community with other students, & a satisfying sense of mastery & personal growth.

Seated Tai Chi Classes

Seated Tai Chi brings as many benefits as standing tai chi.  Those who practise seated tai chi actually improve not only in strength & flexibility, but also in balance & mobility.
