The practice of tai chi, a venerable Chinese martial art, can improve balance and prevent falls in older people. It may even benefit the heart and the immune system. Dancers and athletes use therapies like the Feldenkreis Method, the Alexander Technique, Body-Mind Centering and Ideokinesis to heal from injuries and increase strength. Can these approaches help you, too?

Yes Indeed. I have practiced a simple form of Chi Gong--Spring forest chigong--for 7 years now.
I have seen pains in many parts of my body rise up, and in one session they are gone.
I have more mental peace, poise, when I demonstrate these simple movements, others normally relax and can feel the difference in themselves in just a minute of the demonstration.
Thank you Dr for studying these old styles now new and bringing them to the public.
