Tai Chi for Parkinson's Patients
Description
The health benefits of tai chi have made this ancient Chinese art a popular form of exercise, stress relief, and "moving meditation" in both the East and the West. This instructor-led video takes Parkinson's patients through a gentle tai chi workout with the specific purpose of combating the gradual loss of balance that accompanies Parkinson's disease. Beginning with a brief relaxation routine and the basic Hugging the Ball posture, these simplified tai chi moves bring mind and body into harmony. A comfortable blend of seated and standing exercises.
