Summary:
Conventional
medical
science on the Chinese art of
Tai
Chi
now shows what
Tai
Chi
masters have known for centuries: regular practice leads to more vigor and flexibility, better balance and mobility, and a sense of well-being. Cutting-edge research from
Harvard
Medical
School
also supports the long-standing claims that
Tai
Chi
also has a beneficial impact on the health of the
heart
, bones, nerves and muscles, immune system, and the
mind
. This research provides fascinating insight into the underlying physiological mechanisms that explain how
Tai
Chi
actually works.
