"Can Taichi Really
Improve My Health?"
YES! Master Liao said it all along -- the key to good health is strengthening and balancing your life energy through authentic and traditional Taichi practice.
Below you'll find proof that Taichi works! The following links are to just some of the many published research studies and press releases from the National Institutes of Health on the benefits of Taichi:
1.) Improves Bone Health: The first study shows Taichi improved bone density in older women. A second study shows that Taichi brought even greater improvement than resistance exercise for certain markers of bone health.
2.) Increases Certain Types of Immunity: A groundbreaking study showed that regular Taichi increased participants’ immunity to the virus that causes shingles and chickenpox.
3.) Pain Relief in Osteoarthritis: In this study, Taichi resulted in less pain for those suffering with osteoarthritis of the knee.
4.) Improves Foot Sensitivity in Diabetics: Through the use of balance evaluation, this study showed that Taichi improved plantar sensory ability in diabetic patients, preventing falls.
5.) Prevents Falls in Older Adults: Several studies show Taichi increases balance in older adults, resulting in the prevention of falls.
6.) Cardiorespiratory Health: This study shows that Taichi delayed the decline of cardiorespiratory function in older adults.
