About Tai Chi
Tai Chi for Arthritis is a program that was created in 1997 by Dr Paul Lam, with a team of tai chi and medical experts. Instructors of the program are trained to understand arthritis and ensure the movements are safe for participants.
Tai Chi for Arthritis is more than just a fitness class; it’s a carefully crafted movement therapy designed to help those living with arthritis, diabetes, cardiac conditions, and osteoporosis.
What is Tai Chi for Arthritis?
Our Tai Chi for Arthritis program is a virtual group movement program designed to help people living with arthritis learn safe and suitable ways to exercise. Each week you can join our class from the comfort of your own home with a Certified Tai Chi for Arthritis Instructor coaching you through a live session.
As a 12-week program, we’ll stay with you at each step of the way. We can help to keep you motivated, offer support, and also provide additional resources so you can incorporate safe exercises into your lifestyle.
With the support of our online exercise community, we can help ensure you’re living life to the fullest.
