Tai Chi Health Benefits

Tai chi differs from other types of exercise in several respects. The movements are never forced, the muscles are relaxed rather than tensed, the joints are not fully extended and connective tissues are not stretched.

There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice, which originated in China as a martial art, has value in treating or preventing many health problems.
- Harvard School of Medicine


Tai chi has many potential physical and emotional benefits, such as decreased anxiety and depression and improved cognition.
It may also help manage symptoms of some chronic diseases, such as fibromyalgia or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
