Tai Chi is recommended by most major Arthritis Organizations as an effective treatment regimen.
Tai Chi for Arthritis
An ancient Chinese exercise offers arthritis relief through slow, gentle movement.
For the uninitiated, tai chi may be a little daunting. The ancient Chinese exercise is hardly as mainstream as aerobics or the treadmill, but with its gentle, fluid movements and proven health benefits, it’s a natural arthritis workout.
Tai chi also offers plenty of other benefits. Recent studies (researchers at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, Mass.) have found that the slow, graceful exercise, which originated several thousand centuries ago as a martial art, can improve balance, reduce stress and offer arthritis pain relief.

Tai Chi Yang 24 form
This form is performed by Grandmaster Yong So.
The Yang 24 form is one of the most popular Tai Chi forms. Yang is the most appropriate Tai Chi style for beginners, although some of the forms in the 24 can be physically challenging. Snake creeps down, a deep squat then reverse in direction, and Heel Kick, a high, slow kicking movement, can require many years to master, although these forms can be modified for someone with less balance and flexibility than a Tai Chi master.
Kung Fu Fan
This video is the Editors Choice of Master So’s Tai Chi DVD. It combines the energetic martial arts movements of Kung Fu with the beautiful flowing brandishing of the fan. As such it embodies the dual concepts of Kung Fu as a martial art and as an art form. This form is performed with a plastic and silk fan, although regulation Kung Fu fans are weapons made with metal blades and sharp points on the spines.
