Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 Hello, I'm going to be starting a tai-chi class in the next couple of weeks. I'm hoping it'll help me figure where my body is in space and with my balance (guess they go hand-in-hand though.) I'm also hoping to tone up muscles, but that would just be an added benefit. I've read about the benefits of tai-chi, watch it on tv occasionally and it seems to be something that wouldn't harm my spinal cord. Has anyone tried this? If so, what were the benefits and were there any negatives to it? Thanks, Kathy Quote
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 Hey Kathy, I did Tai Chi when I first came back to Memphis, when I could stand and walk better. It really did help with my balance. I tried it again a couple of years ago, and worked with the instructor, who was a friend of mine, to adapt the postures to something I could do sitting down. I did stand straighter when I practiced. If anything feels like too much of a twist (it shouldn't, tho) just do it in a smaller motion. I can't think of any negatives - enjoy it! V Quote
