Tai Chi was propagated throughout China over 800 years ago as a way for accomplished martial artists to supplement their training. Over the centuries, practitioners discovered they were less prone to disease and chronic illness, and enjoyed a better quality of life in their later years.
Since the mid-20th century, countless medical studies around the world have documented the health benefits of Tai Chi. Tai Chi practice has been credited with alleviating back, knee and arthritis pain, increasing balance, improving strength, muscle tone and bone density, and reducing stress and all the symptoms that go along with it. More focused studies showed that the slow, circular movements assisted in everything from recovery after stroke, improved quality of life during and after cancer treatment, and a better night’s sleep to those suffering from insomnia.
According to the Mayo Clinic Tai Chi Can Lead To:
- Decreased stress and anxiety
