How Tai Chi for Arthritis Was Developed
In 1997, Dr. Paul Lam led a team of Tai Chi and medical experts to design this program based on Sun style Tai Chi. It is easy to learn, safe, and effective. A recent randomized study (2001) conducted by three universities in Korea has shown the program to relieve pain, improve quality of life, and to be safe.
The program includes warm-up, wind-down, Qigong exercises, special precautions, and a set of 21 movements.
