CLINICAL TAI CHI
We offer different levels of tai chi. We have a program for each level, but we also adapt our classes according to the group's abilities and needs. In most of our tai chi exercises, we work your balance. Balance is reliant upon excellent deep core stability, hip and leg flexibility, and strengthening the body. Tai chi exercises also improve the function of your vestibular and visual systems. You will work your static and dynamic balance.
Static Balance is the ability to maintain the body in some fixed posture. Whereas dynamic balance is the ability of your body to maintain postural stability and orientation with centre of mass over the base of support while the body parts are in motion.
Most musculoskeletal injuries happen in sports and everyday life because we are used to working out the power of our muscles, but not their balance and stability.
​
In most cases, your balance deficits can be quickly improved with specific balance or stability exercises.
