Health benefits of Tai Chi
Tai chi improves the posture, reduces spinal degeneration, maintains flexibility of the joints, increases strength, improves balance, and increases stability in the lower back. Tai chi uses extensive movements but is less harsh to the joints and anyone can benefit from it.
Tai chi will not cure the herniated disk, arthritis in the spine, spinal stenosis, or pinched nerves, but it prevents the injuries by increasing your general health and wellbeing. Tai chi increases the oxygen supply to the injured area and clears out the metabolic wastages in your muscles thus reducing muscular back pain.
Tai chi is a low impact workout that uses your entire mind and body. It is a slow moving dance that helps in acquiring balance and teaches you how to move from pelvis. It enhances the muscular strength, increases flexibility of the soft tissues and increases blood and energy circulation. It is also considered as moving meditation.
