Learn tai chi together!

Tai chi and qigong ---excerpts from Acupuncture today Both tai chi and qigong are preventive self-cultivation practices, and are reflected as such in the scientific literature. A 2017 systematic review with meta-ananlysis evaluated 21 trials including 1,604 patients and found significant benefits of tai chi/qigong over no interventions for hypertension, fasting blood glucose, and body mass index (compared with exercise controls). The authors concluded that, "Although Tai Chi and qigong show some potential, more robust studies are required to provide conclusive evidence on the efficacy and safety of Tai Chi and qigong for reducing major stroke risk factors." Both tai chi and qigong also reduce risk of falls in the geriatric population, so it's appropriate to recommend to all of our middle age and senior patient communities.
