Tai Chi
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese form of exercise that involves slow, gentle movements, each flowing into the next. Tai Chi incorporates posture, mental focus, and deep breathing as the body is in constant motion. Research has shown that Tai Chi can improve balance in people with PD. Many people with Parkinson's also report improvements in flexibility, strength, and relaxation. Fitness centers, senior centers, and community recreation centers might offer Tai Chi classes locally. It is important to speak with the Tai Chi instructor to learn if the class will be beneficial to you.
