If you have these medical conditions:

It is supported by Arthritis Foundations worldwide; shown by many medical studies to reduces falls, alleviate pain, improves quality of life better lung capacity.
  • Poor balance to prevent falls, improve balance and health – Dr Lam recommends the Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention too since it contains a fall prevention program, that is why the Centers of Disease Control and Preventions (www.cdc.gov) recommends it.
  • A stroke, heart disease, injury, surgical procedure or tiredness and stress – Dr Lam recommends the Tai Chi for Rehabilitation program because it is very healing and anyone can learn it.

  • To de-stress or relieve depression – Dr Lam recommends the Tai Chi at Work or Tai Chi for Rehabilition
  • Young children, to improve health and coordination – Dr Lam recommends the Tai Chi 4 Kidz program

 

To develop inner strength of your body and mind, Dr Lam recommends:

Start with Tai Chi for Beginners or Tai Chi for Energy and then progress onto Dr Lam’s Intermediate Series. Tai Chi for Energy is a combination of Chen and Sun styles and is more vigorous than Tai chi for Beginners and slightly more challenging to learn.

The Intermediate Series is recommended for people with approximately 1 year’s tai chi experience and the Advanced Series is for those with two or more years’ experience.

 

Dr Lam’s 3 best picks:

Dr Lam recommends starting with Tai Chi for Beginners; or if you prefer a more challenging and faster-paced program Tai Chi for Energy.

If you have arthritis or other chronic conditions, or prefer a gentle start, Tai Chi for Arthritis (suitable for almost anyone with or without arthritis) would be ideal to improve health and wellness, as well as relieve pain for almost anyone.
