Why Tai Chi for Seniors Works
Tai Chi is more than movement — it’s proven medicine for the body and mind.
Extensive research from institutions such as Harvard Medical School, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows that Tai Chi provides measurable health benefits for older adults.
“Tai Chi is often described as ‘meditation in motion.’ But it might well be called ‘medication in motion.’” — Harvard Health Publishing
