Are there any benefits of practicing Tai Chi Qi Gong as a senior?
Much research, both privately and government funded, has now been conducted on the benefits of Tai Chi Qi Gong practice for seniors. Balance and coordination skills have seen to be maintained or enhanced along with management of illness and disability. Practicing as a group, whether at a local senior community, community center, hospice or hospital, or local health club or gymnasium, promotes social contact and interaction that enhances living in the senior years. Specific difficulties with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s type illnesses, diabetes management and arthritis can be addressed and benefit from regular practice.
