Movie Reviews of Tai Chi For Arthritis DVD
Movie Review: Easy Tai Chi
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always wanted to try Tai Chi, and I found this a good starting point. Very easy to follow and enjoyable, and not at all strenuous. Dr. Lam emphasizes throughout that you should only do what you're physical condition dictates, and that you should make adjustments to the movements accordingly. I have shoulder issues and doing the movements as shown requires holding arms out in front of me for too long. This is the nature of all Tai Chi, not just this instructor's method. I will try this again later after my shoulders improve, but then I'll need to adjust how high I raise my arms, and limit how long I practice (It's so easy and enjoyable that I find it so tempting to over-do). But I hope I can get back into it, because it really is enjoyable and relaxing, and I think it can help with balance, too.
Summary of Tai Chi For Arthritis DVD
The Tai Chi for Arthritis program is supported by Arthritis Foundations around the world and has helped over one million people improve their quality of life. Dr. Lam has designed the sequel - Tai Chi for Arthritis Part II containing the 9 new movements which are more challenging. This DVD will suit people who have completed the Tai Chi for Arthritis Program and wish to gain more health benefits and enhance their Tai Chi skill. This DVD explores the depth and essential principles of Tai Chi for Arthritis, teaches the reverse 12 movements and the new 9 movements.The beginning of Tai Chi for Arthritis introduces the arthritic senior-citizen members of Paul Lam's Australian tai chi class, who share their stories of increased range of motion and resulting enjoyment of life thanks to the positive effects of exercise. Lam, a Sydney physician and international tai chi champion, personally vouches for the ancient practice, which reversed the debilitating effects of his own arthritis. Then the class follows an hour-long program of warm-ups, stretches, and 12 movements that increase muscle tone and joint movement for the arthritic. These consist of six basic movements, six more advanced movements, and a separate demonstration by Lam without verbal instruction for those ready for a more fluid daily practice. Lam also introduces a set of qigong exercises for arthritis, explaining that the Chinese believe that the sluggish flow of Qi--the Chinese word for energy--is a major cause of arthritis. --Kimberly Heinrichs
