Tai Chi for Seniors

Tai Chi is a martial art, an ancient martial art, probably the oldest of all martial arts. This particular style is called Sun style, and is very suitable for senior citizens who have arthritis and who have tendency to fall.

Movements are gracious, slow, rhythmic, creating a perfect harmony of movements, breathing and meditation. Doctor Paul Lamm developed this kind of Tai Chi into main stream medicine, and there are many medical studies proving that this type of Tai Chi is really medically beneficial for our health. The world's major arthritis foundations, including American Arthritis foundation recognizes Tai Chi Sun style as official Tai Chi for arthritis.

Glendale Memorial Hospital and the Care More health plan of California are having regular Tai Chi classes for our senior patients. If you have any questions about those exercises classes please call doctor Neskovic's office at 818-244 4114 .
