What
is the Tai Chi for Arthritis Program?
In 1997, Dr Paul Lam, a family physician and tai chi master, led a team of
tai chi and medical specialists to create this unique program. The special feature
of Tai Chi for Arthritis is that it is easy and enjoyable to learn, bringing with
it the many health benefits safely and quickly. Medical studies have shown this
program effective and safe to relieve pain and improve quality of life for people
with or without arthritis. For this reason, arthritis foundations around the world
are giving it their support. >>more
